Delahaye expert and detective Richard Adatto chronicles the history of Figoni’s work on the sumptuous Delahaye coupés, many survivors hidden from the German invaders in 1940, and later rescued by American enthusiasts and admirers. this beautifully illustrated book, featuring both archive  photographs and graphics, and contemporary studio images, was designed for Dalton Watson Fine Books.

the period.
