Auto ID #228 **FINISHED**


Recommended Posts

You know the rules... answers by PM to me before end of play Friday. Answer posted Saturday morning GMT. Please don't use reverse image look-up.

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.

Ahhh, powered by the "V8-60" as that small 144cid flathead V8 was known here in the US 1937-1940!
