Sandy, you gotta to hand it to the Italians, they had the design thing down didn't they? I have so many favorite cars from that era, I couldn't name one, but for having traveled a lot in one of these as a kid, I have a soft spot for it:

Hitchhiking in Europe in the 60s (!), I was treated to a several rides in the big Citroens and let me tell you, I was in hitchhikers' heaven! :wink:twocorgis said:

One ride was with a woman in her 30s near Avignon, but that's an entirely different story.... 8)

davismanLV said:I remember when I was about 16 years old, people bought the place across the street from us. It was pretty rural and lots of land so "across the street" is .... up the road a ways. They somehow hauled in this old car and covered it up. The house was up on top of the hill and this old covered up car sat down in the space where the horse used to live, underneath a huge oak tree. Never paid it any mind. After a particularly stormy night I noticed the cover had come off so I hopped on my horse and rode over there. Lo and behold, what would it be? A 1961 Facel Vega HK500!! What an amazing car!
I kept expecting them to come down and replace the cover and they just hauled the cover away and let that poor thing sit out in the Southern California sun and rain day after day after day...... Eventually someone came and hauled it away. That was years later.
Not too many of those around, I'd think.
It was black, as I well remember.twocorgis said:killdeer43 said:Hitchhiking in Europe in the 60s (!), I was treated to a several rides in the big Citroens and let me tell you, I was in hitchhikers' heaven! :wink:

Do tell Joe! Was it the proper shade of "French Blue" like the one above? :wink:
