This is a 1953 Ford Comete Facel Coupe, though the sharp eyed among you have spotted that it's fitted with the later 1954 "Monte Carlo" bonnet (hood) with fake airscoop and the chip-cutter grille. It has the underpowered 2250cc V8, not the later 3.9 litre Mistral engine. This was an "under the radar" project by Ford France, with just over 2000 built. best, M.
