Facel Vega is a french car ! The most prestigious french make in the end of 50's ... There was the "big" Facel (FV, HK 500, Facel 2, Excellence etc.., all powered with various Chrysler /DeSoto engine: 331, 354 CI) and the "small" Facel, the Facellia and Facel 6. The transmission was a Torqueflite or a 4 speed manual Pont-A-Mousson which fitted the rarest 300F 410 HP. All these cars were expensive. Now a Facel 2 (in concours conditions) reach the $ 50 000 !
