The great Tazio Nuvolari, a fearless and amazing driver that shaped the profile of modern racing drivers.
This was taken during the Monza Grand Prix of 1934, the car seems to be a Maserati 6C, but I might be wrong.
Back in 1934, the competing GP brands were mainly Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Bugatti and Auto-Union.
Auto-Union Type C (1937)
Built by Ferdinand Porsche to be a proper beast and delicate dancer on the track. It’s interesting to know that those people were cheering for more than 500 bhp in the mid 30’s.

Auto Union Type A (1934)
Driven by Hans Stuck (no, the one before that).
This is Tazio Nuvolari, running in the Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 at the 1932 Monaco Grand Prix.
Delahaye 165 (1938)
Figoni & Falaschi did not create a car, with the 165.
They’ve created a very elegant and handcrafted piece of art in which you could travel, both in comfort and speed.
I’ll leave you with this quote:
In 1973, it received a perfect 100 point score while being judged in a Classic Car Club of America event.

Hispano-Suiza Dubonnet Xenia (1938)
From an interesting Spanish engineering firm with quite the reputation for plane-like luxury cars (worth mentioning they also built aviation engines).
