It looks way too conservative of a line to be a Figoni! I bet it is an "Henri Chapron" |

From link ^: "1936 Delage D6-70 Cabriolet Mylord by Figoni et Falaschi - Chassis no. 50714, Engine no. 50714. Chassis number 50714 was bodied by renowned Parisian coachbuilders Figoni et Falaschi as their elegant Cabriolet Mylord, with “Mylord” referring to the convertible hood that could be set in one of three positions. These three positions consisted of fully raised, fully lowered, or midway, which sheltered the rear-seat passengers and would have been used with a liveried chauffeur at the wheel. This design, as sketched by Figoni, features their classic, sensuously curved wings and balanced lines, with the profile set off by delicate two-toning along the flanks. The car was first registered 24 August 1936 and later restored in its present colours: a rich off-white and burgundy, with polished aluminium wheels, whitewall tyres and delicate chrome accents . It displays a warm patina of care rather than age and shows gentle use. Its body shows no signs of corrosion, and the fabric and paint are in good condition. In recent history, the car has taken part in the Paris-Deauville Rally organised by the Club de l’Auto, and several concours d’elegance events, winning awards at Aix les Bains, Aix en Provence and others. It even had a minor role as a film star, appearing in the 1988 French film "Itinéraire d'un enfant gâté" alongside Jean-Paul Belmondo." |
