carsntrucks4you Posted August 25 Posted August 25 (edited) I think that I found a car that makes some of you thinking in the wrong way. This is not a Facelila, Facel Vega Facel II or Facel 6 or a HK500. This is a 1965 Facel Vega Facel III (sorry German side) powered by a 1.8l Volvo engine. This car replaced the Facelila that was powered by an 1.65 l engiene that was developed by Facel Vega and this engine suffered from high oil comsumption and burned pistions. The high number of engine blow up's led to financial problems and ruined the image and reputation of Facel Vega. As a result of the ill fated Facelila Facel Vega introduced the Facel II 1963. The Facel III was distinguish by the engine, headlights, grill , rear fender, trunk lid, taillights and dashboard to the Facelila. ( I hope that I'm grammatically correct - I hate gramma). The Facel II was build from 1963 - 1964. After 432 cars production ends and Facel Vega was history.
