Re: Whatsthisthen?
The factory where the vehicle was built was Poissy and a particularly significant year 1954
That must give it away Shirley

Re: Whatsthisthen?
Not a Facel Vega Jim that would have been a dash something like thisCitroJim wrote:Facel Vega ?
although Facel did make the pillarless coupe bodywork for a stablemate of the car in question.

Re: Whatsthisthen?
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
