1939 Talbot Lago T150 C SS
There were four Talbot-Lago T150 C SSs with Pourtout Aerocoupé bodies made. Only 3 remain, and my Carson City friend Steve Hamilton has this exquisitely restored example. Although there were 16 of the better known Figoni et Falaschi teardrop coupes produced, this is more rare. An UNRESTORED example sold at Bonham's Auction House in 2008 for just under $4,850,000! These were genuine and gloriously beautiful aerodynamic supercars that you could drive to the track and with their wonderful hemi-headed 6 cylinder engines, be very competitive and they won a number of significant races just before the outbreak of WWII.
This image shows the interesting skylight and ceiling structures reflecting on the paint. Amazing car! In my personal top 2 or 3 of all time beautiful autos.
Can be enlarged to appreciate details. Wonderful patterns and reflections, including the blue sky through the huge skylights.
