From the Dec. 8,1947 issue of LIFE (70 years ago this week) - “AUTOMOBILE DESIGN: It is exciting in Europe but only promised in the U.
S.” This image opened the feature with the following caption: “Custom-bodied French Talbot, poised elegantly in Place De La Concorde has sweeping, or chrome-accented lines,was priced at $21000 at the Paris Auto prove.” (nowadays, that would be roughly $230000).
