heaven…I only like beautiful old cars…and this one is really special.
That’s at Pebble Beach … it won Best Of Show there in 2005, I remember seeing it there. Some amazing 30s cars were shown that year
That gearstick looks in a difficult position. I really wanted to see the engine!
@Paul,
this isnt the gearstick. The car has a semi-automatic gearbox. You select the gear with the little blue stick on the side of the steering wheel
Can I have one?
What a nightmare to park it, but what a beauty.
Man, that car is very penis-shaped.
I would like to put fat mags on it and this car would be Number 1….shows true sex appeal…Magnet
Wow! such a stunning s-e-x-y car. Absolutely beautiful -every curve is so romantic and evocative…it just makes you want to drive it. Gorgeous.
Anyone in the greater Portland Oregon area should check this out (if you haven’t already). It is easily the best car show/exhibit I have ever seen…. http://specialexhibitions.portlandartmuseum.org/allure/
absolute beauty!
Hot.
not as good as the bugati atlantic… but nice!!
I know it’s just personal preference, but I like this better than the Bugatti Tp.57. The front end, especially, is more integrated to my eyes.
Why don’t they make them like this anymore?
And Nathan…I really hope you were joking about the “fat mags.”
Beautiful, voluptious and impractical car. I had a similar bodied D670 also on the Delage stand in the ´37 Paris show, but mine was by Letourneur & Marchand. A nice driver and as everybody says, difficult to park !
Exquisitely sexy. I want one!
Back in the day . . . The way we were . . . Will the upcoming three moving part power train battery electrics ever have such appeal? I doubt it!
