1958 FACEL VEGA FV-4 TYPHOON | The Facel motor company was founded in France and named for the acronym of Forges et Ateliers de Constructions d'Eure-et-Loir.

The hand-built Facel Vega, with its cosmopolitan styling, was soon appreciated as crème de la crème by Hollywood celebrities, socialites, and automotive personalities alike, boasting a client-list which included Fred Astaire, Pablo Picasso, and Sir Stirling Moss. Powered by a V8 Chrysler HEMI with Automatic Transmission. This piece also features Non-Factory Air with Vintage A/C added. VIN# FVSNY258.
