it looks much less complimentary in French, think it's cause I hear it in my head with an accent that drips distain:
ReplyDelete"Tout le monde pensait que c'était impossible, sauf un idiot qui ne le savait pas, et l'a fait"
Chapron built convertible. Most beautiful car ever?
ReplyDeleteUh oh... you've raised the question of the most beautiful car.
DeleteThere is a lot of competition for MBC, Most Beautiful Car.
I think some of those late 1930s french coachbuilt cars will be in the top 5 MBCs
I know, and it's not the only car that takes my breath away. But at the end of the day there's only one at the top.
DeleteIt has a nice part in the movie 'Voyager' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_(film)), as does another design icon, a real, flying Lockheed Super Constellation.
