This Talbot-Lago T-26 Grand Sport is a former First in Class winner at Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The Talbot-Lago was touted as being the fastest touring car built in France at this time, and many were graced with flamboyant coachwork by independent carrosseries as was this stunning car. This one-of-a-kind coupe by Jacques Saoutchik has received acclaim throughout the world and is acknowledged to be an automotive work of art.
Jacques Saoutchik was the most prolific of the coachbuilders who bodied the Grand Sport chassis. In addition to his six Fastback Coupes, Saoutchik built this one-off coupe with a distinct notch in the rear roofline and a relatively flat and low rear deck. In terms of its underpinnings, this Grand Sport was likely the second to use a newly introduced chassis with a lengthened 2.8-miter wheelbase. There is little information about the car's early history. But since 1980, it has passed through the hands of several notable collectors, including Maurice Harlaux, Charles Howard, Albrecht Guggisberg, Jacques 'French' Harguindeguy, Don Williams, Erich Traber, and the Blackhawk Collection. Its current owner purchased the car in 2021.
