1930's Packard's I love . But that is a Delahaye you posted Styria . As said before I have posted threads on French Designers from this period. They were at the top of the game in this period. And our beloved W116 was designed by a French designer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Bracq . If not directly involved very much influenced by him .

Peter Arcadipane .W215 CL designer , CLS and a few others http://www.drivingandlife.com/2013/06/driven-personalities-peter-arcadipane.html . A long way from designing the Mad Max interceptor wouldn't you agree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pursuit_Special . He is from Melbourne I read his first design was Purvis Eureka then Torana SLR body kit .

And it was my mate John Crawford who penned this article.
Fascinating story about Peter Arcadipane and what taste in design...
Thank you , yet again Geoff, for unearthing this.
