1949 Talbot Lago T26 Record Cabriolet

Vehicle Overview
Technical Specifications

Talbot-Lago naturally belongs in the list of famous French car brands. Between 1935 and 1960, the brand built the most beautiful cars, for which, unsurprisingly, racing was a major source of inspiration. One of the most important models was the T26, which came onto the market in 1946. Participation in the 24-hour race at Le Mans was intended to put Talbot Lago on the map, but the market was not ready for the luxury cars the brand produced. Consequently, it did not take long before Talbot Lago went bankrupt. Fortunately, many beautiful models have been preserved. Almost all Talbots sold in the late 1940s were fitted with Talbot bodies, built in the manufacturer's extensive workshops. The T26 Grand Sport (GS), however, was an exception: these cars were supplied exclusively as a bare chassis with a six-cylinder engine, meaning customers had to select a custom-made body from a specialized coachbuilder. Coachbuilders such as Saoutchik, Franay, Oblin, and Figoni et Falaschi vied to surpass Talbot's own designers with their creations.
