The Facel III (1963/64) with a new design and Volvo four-cylinder engine also failed to make the change.
What is really astonishing is that the prices for the Facel Vega have not (yet) risen to absurd levels. Only rarely is one of these French wonders traded for more than 350,000 dollars - a bargain compared to the mass-produced Ferraris and mundane Aston Martins.
Its successor, the Facel III, had overcome all the inconsistencies and today, with its Volvo engine, is one of the rarest Facel Vega vehicles, especially the few beautiful, elegant convertibles.
