Maybe not the most beautiful, but certainly one of the most stylish, and coolest motors ever. Dino's Rat Pack mobile.

Facel Vega was a French builder of luxury cars. Their advertising slogan was "For the Few Who Own the Finest". French design with American drivetrains that peaked at 392 cu in hemi engines and a 727 Torqueflite in the Facel Vega II of 1961.

Owners include Pablo Picasso, Ava Gardner, Ringo Starr, Joan Fontaine, Stirling Moss, Tony Curtis, and several Saudi princes. Race-car driver Stirling Moss would drive his HK500 from event to event rather than fly.

Durability depends on available cash.

Myself liked better, friend has one, same colour, but then he did run the Montreal Club UK
