what a beauty, considered by many to be one of the most attractive
automotive designs of all time, the Talbot-Lago T150-C SS Coupe by Figoni et
Falaschi is nothing short of an Art Deco masterpiece on wheels, produced in

Claude Figoni and has remained in Switzerland for the vast majority of its
life, restored to concours standards in 2002 by Atelier et Carosserie de

most spectacular automotive designs the world has ever seen,
