Nice review of these classics.
Although they made me laugh hysterically at a French woman of means would be driving a VALIANT of all things. Good cars! We had a 63 and a 66 over the course of some years.
But there is one missing and I'm not for sure what it is.
In the episode where "Tracy Richards" wants to buy the mansion.
The chauffeur drives her up in a sort of brown looking convertible.
There aren't many clear images of it but I THINK it might be a Facel. Facel Vega?
It's a convertible though so...maybe not.
But George Barris could make anything he wanted.
Facel Vega used Chrysler engines so the link to Chrysler is there.

Anyone know for sure ?
