Facel Vega was a French manufacturer of automobiles from 1954 to 1964.

The company was named after the original metal stamping company FACEL, and the company's first model, the Vega, named after the star,[1] and introduced a the 1954 Paris Auto Show. Facel Vega's were advertised with the slogan For the Few Who Own the Finest.

Initially successful, the company failed after the debut of its mechanically-troubled Facellia model.

Company history

The brand was created by Jean Daninos (brother of the humorist Pierre Daninos, who wrote Les Carnets du Major Thomson). FACEL (Forges et Ateliers de Construction d'Eure-et-Loir, in English: forge and construction workshop for the department of Eure-et-Loir) was initially a metal-stamping company but decided to expand into car manufacturing in the early 1950s. Facel entered the automobile business as a supplier of special bodies for Panhard, Delahaye and Simca. Around 45,000 Simcas were built, this lucrative contract enabling Facel to market a car of their own.
