One Of The Most Beautiful Cars Ever Made

This is a 1937 Talbot Lago T-150 C ( SS ).
This is the prototype of the style # 9220, known as Goutte du Eau...." Teardrop ". It is considered by many as one of the most iconic shapes in the Automotive French Art Deco era. The Fagoni & Falaschi design is flamboyant and elegant. Their use of wild and bright colors made their cars very popular.
There are believed to be only 10 of the type 9220 Goutte du Eau coupes built between 1937 and 1938. These are high performance sport coupes built to rival any of the world's great cars. The example shown here is the only
known T-150 C ( SS ) built with aluminum body and fenders. It's early life was spent in France and Switzerland. It was brought to the U.S. in 2000 and the restoration was completed in 2011. This particular example is priceless.

OMG what a work of art. Some of the most beautiful cars ever made were produced between Wars one and two, or as the younger generation say World War One and World War Eleven.

I sometimes wonder why a almost exact replica of this car is not made today. It could have many of the up to date mechanical features that many people would want. It could even have a electric or hybrid engine, etc., etc. I'll bet there is a market for such a beautiful car.

Hi, Jack.
You're right about that time frame. The French, particularly, produced some of the most stunning car designs ever seen and, sadly, never to be seen again.

A real beauty!
Those years represented the pinnacle time in automotive design. Sadly, we'll never see cars like that again.
