    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

    @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

    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.

    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 !

    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!
