Talbot-Lago I think an early T26 maybe by Figoni & Falaschi (only a guess) |

I think this is rather a pre-war car (so not a T26), and the body work is not extreme enough for Figoni & Falaschi.... |

Yes pre-war. I thought it was T26 then, too but well it looks like i'm wrong (again) .gif ":)") |

This is actually a 1939 Talbot-Darracq, with body by Figoni et Falashi. It had a 4.0-litre pushrod-OHV six with twin single-barrel carbs and a seven-bearing crankshaft, a Wilson gearbox, and measured top speed of 103 MPH. It was once owned by Rodger Barlow, who paid US$2500.00 for it in 1941. The original owner had paid the equivalent of $5000.00 in 1939 and barely escaped the Nazi invasion of Belgium, so when she arrived in New York she had to sell the car. He owned it for 12 years and put over 110,000km on it (it had 30,000 km when he bought it), and he claims it was the most reliable automobile he'd ever owned, making several NY TO LA runs and a round trip from Québec to Key West. Also, Clark Gable allegedly borrowed it when his Jag was in the shop. I had never heard of the movie "Arch of Triumph", except for the fact that his car had been used in it! |

The brand (and company) name Talbot-Darracq was only used 1919 to 1920. It was only used for competition cars later on while passenger cars were marketed as Automobiles Talbot or simply Talbot until they became Talbot-Lago in Franc since 1935 (maybe the name was only used from 1937). So this on should definitely be a Talbot-Lago. |
