Speaking of Talbot Lago Teardrops (and a number of folks here have) I had the pleasure of seeing one of these rare beauties in the flesh (so to speak) at the 100 Cars of Radnor Hunt Concours about a month ago. And I had my camera handy. I posted some of the better shots on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/101519646@N07/sets/72157635454588028/ The images are available in a variety of sizes including the original resolution which is far too large for use here. Here are a few samples in a smaller size.
The above article says "one of a kind", but here's another. http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/chassisNum.aspx?carid=10282&idNumID=15006
Wow. I guess somebody liked the cream one well enough to have it duplicated, or the green is a repaint of the cream car. Details appear identical except for wheel trim rings on the green car.

Peace. And check out those artillery wheels. http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthre...ars-mike-vetters-etv-also-avion-11732-18.html
Can't remember what this was but it was stunning, seen at Lake Mirror Concours last Saturday I couldn't get a good far off pic as the car had crowds around it the whole time. Mt 1960 Eldorado Brougham looks kinda swoopy from above
That's a '37 Alfa Romeo? I'm finding the "art deco" one searching "1937 Alfa Romeo". It looks later than a 30's car.
I think it's actually a '39 Alfa 6C 2500 SS. It's a reconstruction of a Touring-bodied car that no longer exists, so it's currently one of a kind. Here's a very complete description of the car and its history: http://www.conceptcarz.com/events/eventVehicle.aspx?carID=12558&eventID=200&catID=1540 The picture in Rick's original post is the most flattering view of the car.
The Lincoln in post 687 has a very European treatment of the side windows - this styling was popular in France - Delage -8 - and Great Britain. Apologies for the large photos borrowed from the web.... 1935 SS Airline Coupe: Delage D-8 Aerosport coupe:
