Valentino Grand Prix, 1937.
Giuseppe Farina, Alfa Romeo 12C.
Phantom Corsair (1938)
A mad looking concept, which featured many design details that you’d never link to a concept from the 30’s. To start with, the animal-like personality given to the front.
The whole streamlined design (of which Bohman & Schwartz were in charge) was so ahead of its time, already thinking about keeping things clean & simple. No hard edges whatsoever and plenty of personality make the Phantom Corsair one of the most interesting concept cars in history.

Delahaye Type 165 Cabriolet (1939)
Now I see what asaucerfulofwheels meant, concerning his recent fascination with the Figoni & Falaschi coachworking.
I had always connected Delahayes to the Pennock of The Hague coach firm, but apparently the most interesting designs came directly from Figoni & Falaschi themselves, one of the most flamboyant coach builders car history has ever known.
Absolutely graceful.
