These were incredible vehicles

One of the odd facts about them is the dash is not actually wooden but a carefully hand painted piece of metal (which now costs 5 times as much to restore) done by a single man on all of the cars ever produced. 

Below are pictures from the Greenwich Concourse in 2018. The pictured car is a 1957 FB2 convertible 

Thanks,

The Facel Vega HK 500 was a 2 door coupé with a Chrysler 360 bhp 6.3 litre V8 engine. Famous owners included Pablo Picasso, Ava Gardiner and Tony Curtis. ...  

Nice lines

However, i think not enough attention is put on the interior which is super dope!

Yes amongst others.

As did Pablo Picasso, Dean Martin, Ava Gardner, and many Middle Eastern royals. Sterling Moss used his as transportation between races.

Concur!
