The Iconic Art-Deco Era Teardrop
In 1937 Joseph Figoni presented the goutte d’eau, or teardrop, style on the Talbot-Lago Type 150-C-S. The teardrop Talbot-Lagos, which epitomized speed, aerodynamic efficiency, and elegance, were produced in two series: The Jeancart teardrops were coupés with a slight notchback design, while the New York teardrops featured a fastback profile. This fastback has an aluminum body, foldout windscreen, sunroof, and competition-style exhaust headers. Its shape marked the peak of the Streamline Moderne movement of the 1930s.
The teardrop-styled Talbot-Lago was a touring version of the brand’s successful race car, whose triumph at the 1937 French Grand Prix brought international fame to the marque.
