Thanks John. The only model I have of a facel-vega is in 1/18 scale. A beautiful car in every way.

What a stunner! Hows this for a line "the 1956 Facel Vega Sport had an opulent interior that mirrored an intimate booth at a speakeasy bar; you can just smell the bourbon and cigar smoke."!?

Dont know how many times I've almost pulled the trigger on this Hachette 1/24 version. This great post tipped me over the edge. Now on its way from Jumajo!

Thanks John for another great historical motoring piece.
