I'd like to see a detailed history on the Facel Vega.  In 1977 I found one
in some blackberries with '63 Nevada plates, asked the owner of the
property, next I knew it was hauled off.  Always thought it was a gangster
car.  It had a hemi and Chrysler-type wide grey brake pedal, Powerflite with
dash shift.
