Talbot-Lago
Established 1935: Suresnes, France
The Anglo-French trio of Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq dissolved between 1933 and 1935, with one Antonio Franco Lago of Venice stepping forth with the desire to create a sporting marque of international renown. Within a few years, Lago's firm produced a complement of alluring automobiles that entered the upper echelon of motorsport. Often serving both road and race duties, Talbot-Lago cars offered technical potency, while the coachbuilders of Paris found the chassis a dream to clothe. 12cylinders will later return to Talbot-Lago in the context of greater French endeavors.
