Biography

Greek-French constructor of luxury cars Facel Vega.

The brother of Pierre Daninos, he founded the company FACEL (Forges et Ateliers des Constructions d'Eure-et-Loir, forge and construction workshop for the department of Eure-et-Loir) in 1939 with hopes of one day designing and manufacturing his own automobile. An engineer, he had previously collaborated with Citroën on the Traction Avant and had worked in the aviation field.

The FACEL company produced the bodies of custom cars like the Panhard Dyna cabriolet and the Ford Comète. The first Facel Vega model, designed by Daninos himself, debuted in 1954, equipped with a Chrysler engine. Daninos counted among his clients celebrities (including Tony Curtis and Ava Gardner) and racing drivers (Stirling Moss, Maurice Trintignant). Several sports car models followed until the company's demise in the mid-1960s. During ten years of production, FACEL had manufactured 3,000 automobiles.

Daninos died at 9pm on 13 October 2001 in Cannes at age 94 from cancer.
