4. Talbot-Lago T150C SS
At the dawn of the Second World War, the French car industry was incredibly active. The most interesting were the luxury manufacturers, most of which discontinued production after the war. This was due to the changing economic climate and different market circumstances. But in the late 30’s, the Bugatti, Delage, Delahaye, Hotchkiss and Talbot Lago were competing with each other in style, speed and elegance.
One of the most striking cars that perfectly describes the era is the gorgeous, extremely rare Talbot-Lago T150C SS. They built it on a racing chassis with a 4.0-liter straight eight-cylinder engine and 140 HP. They created the voluptuous body with the prime Parisian coachbuilding company, Figoni et Falaschi, Talbot-Lago earned the nickname, “Teardrop” and a place in automotive history as one of the most beautiful pre-war cars.
