History of the Facel Vega Facel III
Backing against their previous trend of increasing power with each new iteration, the Facel Vega Facel III would instead be powered by a 1780cc Volvo engine instead of a Chrysler engine like previously. Built from 1963-1964 it was well-received, but sadly came too late to reverse the bad fortunes of the company.
