In the 1920s and 1930s, Vanvooren was one of the most celebrated carrosseries, building glorious bodies for many motor companies, but as with many French companies, they had a hard time during the war. After being bombed in 1943, it re-opened on a very small scale in 1947 but built only about a dozen cars before closing.

This car was the last to leave the workshop in Courbevoie, Paris, in 1950. Little is known of this car's early ownership history but it spent almost all of its life in France. In the 1970s, this coupe was owned by four-time World Rally Champion and president of the Federation Francaise des Sports Automobiles, Bernard Consten. The current owner acquired the car in 2014 and has just restored it, preserving as much of the original metalwork and interior features as possible. The 2016 Pebble Beach Concours was the car's first appearance outside of Europe.
