1947 TALBOT LAGO
                   "Type 26 Grandsport Coupe"
                    Owned by Peter W. Mullin

Engine:   6 cyl.

Some of the most flamboyant and expensive coachwork ever to come
out of France was the work of Jacques Saoutchik, an expatriate
Russian cabinet maker.  This exquisite Grandsport coupe was
designed by Saoutchik for the 1947 Paris Auto Show and placed on
chassis # 1.  The interior of this car is the original one done
for the Paris Show and features gold plated bezels on the dash
and door handles.

Before becoming part of Peter Mullin's outstanding collection of
French cars, this automobile was part of the "Blackhawk"
collection.  Prior to that the car had been owned by "Frenchy"
Harguindeguy who had obtained it from an individual in Ohio who
had found it.

Although this particular Talbott has never been raced, the
Grandsport engine was raced in LeMans in 1953.
