T23 by Figoni & Falaschi


This photo of Talbot-Lago is quite well known, published in different books but always wrongly identified as being a T150 chassis, some authors even indicate the chassis number as being 90101.

In fact this car is a T23 model and its chassis number is 89076.

The coachbuilder is, of course, Figoni & Falaschi, famous for their tear drop coupe design: le coupĂ© goutte d’eau.

This T23 got its registration number, 2270-RL1, dĂ©partement de la Seine in June 1937. The fate of 89076 is not known, it disappears in the South of France in the early 50’s.
