I can't tell you how much I am enjoying this particular puzzle. As a long-time admirer of Jean Daninos and all things Facel, I have found many fascinating cars during my search involving Facel/Ford/Prototypes. Unfortunately I have not located the exact puzzle car yet, but some lovely other cars . . . Many of which I was unaware of.

Just to clarify, it is a prototype Facel design for -or based on- a Ford vehicle. Correct?

Very generous of you. It's fascinating that even now that we know what it is . . . I still can't find any reference for it on the web!  I can see the Vedette styling cues beneath the Facel grille now. I was about to ask about a Vedette and/or Simca connection, but Frederick59 was a bit faster. A very good puzzle.
