The Talbot Lago coupe with coachwork by Figoni & Falaschi could be considered the "Great-Grandfather" of the Talbo built by TLC Carrossiers Inc. The Christie auction held during the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Aug 18 ,2005, featured the Figoni & Falaschi Talbot Lago once owned by designer Brooks Stevens. It was sold for $3,535,000. The RM auction the next day had the long wheelbase Talbot Lago which sold at $3,685,000.
Another
Original Talbot Lago Figoni et Falaschi coupe was the "cover girl" on Gooding's
Auction at the 2006 Palm Beach Concours de Elegance. |

When this car was at Brooks Stevens Museum, Brooks permitted me
to measure and take the lines of the car. The Talbo is a interpretation of
these fabulous shapes adapted to provide a modern sports car. Brooks visited our
facility after we had built several Talbo's and was very enthusiastic and supportive
about the Talbo. The picture below from the early '80's shows the car in Brooks
Stevens museum in Mequon, Wisconsin. 
This
stunning automobile was auctioned for almost Four Million US Dollars.
