Facel was a French automobile manufacturer from 1954 to 1964, created by Jean Daninos. The company's first model, the Vega (named after the star), was introduced at the 1954 Paris Auto Show and instantly won acclaim from around the world. The Facel Vegas were expensive and highly exclusive, but they sold well, particularly amongst film stars. Despite its initial success, the company failed after the debut of the mechanically troubled Facellia model. Today, Facel Vegas are cherished for their unique character by car enthusiasts all over the world.
