    That's better then flowers ANYDAY!:eek: Thank you! I searched for one all morning and couldn't come up with it. I did come up with this 1937 Cadillac V16 with a custom body built by Hartmann. Came with fully enclosed fenders front and rear. Only one of two Cadillac chassis to have been sold to independent coach makers. I'd love to have anyone of them....but this is awfully nice!

    The grandson of the Delage family was interviewed at last years (maybe the the year before) Pebble Beach Concours d' Elagance through an interpreter and these were the exact words out of his mouth. Take it up with him.

    That thing appeals to me, in an ugly sort of way...

    Yes, the French nailed styling back then, truly amazing cars...

    Have a good one!!!

    Take it easy...
