1937 Talbot-Lago T150C SS New York Teardrop Coupe

This exquisite Talbot-Lago Teardrop was the fourth T150C-SS chassis of 14 built and one of only a handful of the desirable New York models, considered to be the most spectacular examples of the iconic Teardrop design. This was the only Teardrop constructed without a sunroof, giving the car an even purer line than its sister cars. To offset ventilation issues, the car was fitted with twin outward-opening windscreens - a design patented by Joseph Figoni that further enhanced the unique character of this car. But for all its aesthetic prowess, this car was a triumph on the track, too, taking 11th place overall at the 1950 Grand Prix in Watkins Glen. The car was also raced at Wilmot Hills and Elkhart. After passing through the hands of Tommy Lee, Brooks Stevens, and Bruce Lustmen, the Teardrop found its way to John W. Rich and the JWR Automobile Museum in Pennsylvania.
