Rare Talbot Lago T23 Teardrop Coupe goes up for auction

It’s hard not to get carried away with the superlatives when writing of the art deco wheeled sculptures of Paris-based automotive couturier Giuseppe Figoni. This exquisite 1938 Talbot-Lago T23 ‘Goutte d’Eau’ Coupe is not just a pretty face either – an almost identical car finished third in the 1938 Le Mans 24 hour race … and it’s for sale. From the studios of French coachbuilder Figoni et Falaschi, Figoni’s Talbot-Lago T23 is one of just four Jeancart-style machines still in existence. via gizmag
