regards Neil

The factory where the vehicle was built was Poissy and a particularly significant year 1954

That must give it away Shirley

Facel Vega ?

Not a Facel Vega Jim that would have been a dash something like this



although Facel did make the pillarless coupe bodywork for a stablemate of the car in question.

regards Neil

[CitroJim]

Now that Facel Vega dash is what I call a dash What an absolute beauty

[myglaren]

A DeSoto perhaps

[NewcastleFalcon]

not a desoto Steve

The desoto got a bit of n aiting earlier on in the thread when Malcolm posted up this picture, mainly for the on board record player!




that dash did turn out to be a desoto.

I think there is no secret that the car in question has a strong american influence, but it was built in France at the Poissy factory

[NewcastleFalcon]

Here's its rear end (with the name badge removed)



or for those who like a more cryptic clue

say what you see

regards Neil

this is the stablemate's pillarless coupe bodywork referred to

[CitroJim]

Next time i'm in there Jim i'll snap'em

No, don't do that Mike... You'll have to glue them back together if you do...

[citronut]

just a wild guess is it a Facel Vega or maybe a Delahaye

[NewcastleFalcon]

just a wild guess is it a Facel Vega or maybe a Delahaye

ruled ot the Facel Vega but there is a connection with Facel and the pillarless coupe "stablemate"

that stablemate's name can easily be worked out if you know your aircraft
