Facel-Bodied French Ford

The 1953 Ford Comète is a rare and elegant French-built Ford: a graceful two-door coupe bodied by Facel, the coachbuilder that would soon create the legendary Facel Vega. Powered by the small Aquilon flathead V8, it is a sophisticated, continental machine unlike anything in Ford's American range.
