Default Devaux Automobiles

I had a comment on a car in my user gallery from FP and he asked what company was the concept represented. It is a Devaux Coupe from Australia. Click below for more info.

This car represents all that turns me on in automotive design. Some may not like the retro look but many do. It blends all of the attributes from the 1930's Bugatti, Delahaye, Delage, and Talbot Lago's.

Except that I see volkswagon beetle in the roof, I think it and the girl in the background look great.

Chuck I thought that car looked pretty cool and I meant to ask you about it too.
It kind of reminded me of the Chrysler "Atlantic" Show car.

Chrysler was one of my customers here in Perrysburg Ohio and one day while on a sales call I noticed two concept car pictures hanging on the wall. One was our Crossfire and one was the Atlantic which is almost a modern version of the Bugatti Atlantic. ( Google it and see)

I was thrilled when they produced the Crossfire and didn't dream that I would own one. Unfortunately they haven't yet and never will produce the Atlantic. It would be a very expensive car to produce looking at the body panels.
