Citroën was busy trying to levitate cars with hydraulics, Renault was making boxes with engines, and Peugeot was… Peugeot. But then, like a bolt of lightning, came Jean Daninos and his Facel Vega—an automobile so French, so glamorous, and so improbable that it could only have existed in that golden sliver of time before the world decided that cars should make sense. #Facel #French #design
