Harold & Sons is profoundly honored to present a vehicle universally recognized as one of the greatest achievements in 20th-century automotive design: the 1939 Talbot-Lago T150-C "Teardrop" (Goutte d'Eau). Coachbuilt by the legendary Figoni & Falaschi, this rolling sculpture is the perfect embodiment of French automotive excellence and marks the absolute zenith of pre-war aerodynamic styling.

Engineering & Coachwork Artistry:

• The Figoni & Falaschi Silhouette: The "Teardrop" represents a masterclass in the French goutte d’eau aerodynamic styling movement. Every sweeping curve, elongated fender, and tapering tail line was meticulously crafted by hand to mimic the flawless aerodynamics of a falling drop of water, resulting in a silhouette that is entirely uninterrupted by sharp angles or traditional pre-war upright proportions.

• A Singular Configuration: While any T150-C Teardrop is a museum-grade rarity, this specific chassis stands completely alone in global automotive history. Built on a specific 2.95-meter long chassis, it is the only known example ever commissioned and executed with a three-seat interior layout, making it a true 1-of-1 artifact.

• Pre-War Performance: Beneath the breathtaking coachwork lies a refined and robust 4.0-liter, 6-cylinder engine. Engineered for grand touring and derived from Talbot-Lago's extensive motorsport pedigree, it provides ample, authoritative power that perfectly matches the vehicle's dynamic aesthetic presence.

Having undergone a comprehensive and exacting restoration with exemplary attention to every mechanical and cosmetic detail, this 1939 Talbot-Lago T150-C "Teardrop" displays an exceptional state of conservation today. It represents an unrepeatable opportunity to acquire what is widely considered the crown jewel of classic car collecting—a uniquely configured masterpiece of French Art Deco design.
