The French auto manufacturer Facel Vega introduced the HK500 as a development of its existing FV4 grand tourer coupé. The new model retained the prior car’s chic and handsome design lines, as well as the Chrysler-sourced 5.9-litre V-8 engine. It is believed that 71 examples of the HK500 were produced in 1958, its first year of production, adding rarity to the model’s list of desirable attributes.
