Prototype built by Facel to replace the French Ford Vedette. But Ford preferred a more American look and came with the Vedette Trianon / Versailles / Régence. And these after a very short time these were renamed to Simca.

I've no idea
As Facel fabricated some bodies for Simca, is the front a modified Simca one?

AS I'm feeling around in the dark, please unlock to give someone who knows have a go.

Could it be one of the very early Facel prototypes that used an Allard chassis and a Hotchkiss engine?

SACO · « **Reply #18 on:** April 08, 2014, 08:58:30 AM »

Not an Allard chassis and a Hotchkiss engine !
