The French Facel Vega was the brainchild of Jean Daninos who initially established Forges et Ateliers de Construction d'Eure-et-Loir in 1939 to manufacture of aircraft components. After the war, Facel built bodies for Panhard, Simca, and Ford-France and also produced the Pininfarina-designed coachwork for the Daninos-inspired Bentley Cresta. Daninos unveiled his first car, the Facel Vega at the Paris Salon in 1954, and in 1958 he built the first Excellence, produced from 1958 to 1962, with the remarkable feature of four doors with no central pillars. Approximately 2,900 cars were hand-built in the short life of the stylish and fast Facel. Race drivers Maurice Trintignant and Stirling Moss used Facel to drive quickly between the race tracks of Europe. The star-studded list of owners is a miniature 'Who's Who,' with a shah, a king, ambassadors, princes, and presidents among them.
