The Facel
Vega FV3 is the predecessor of the Facel Vega FV4 and the later HK 500.
The Facel Vega FV3 is a very luxurious 'grand routier' with
excellent roadholding capabilities and an overwhelming engine capacity.
The Facel Vega is a 'majestic' sportscar, the interior and the exterior
show very characteristic details and ravishing French design. The
automobile is very comfortable, even at very high speeds. The car
features the finest leather seats, a beautiful dashboard, power windows
and all the luxury one can ever wish in a classic car. All bright work
at the exterior is not chromed; all these parts are fabricated of
stainless steel.
The steel body is built upon a very strong steel tubular chassis.
Facel used the most impressive engine of its time; the Chrysler V8
engine with a capacity of 200 bhp. The suspension is independent at
front and a live axle is used at the rear.
