That is a variety... and why I love looking through http://5window.tumbler.com/

The Bugnotti by Delahaye USA

from http://www.autoblog.com/2010/05/05/bugnotti-roadster-poses-for-the-camera/

the marvelous paintings of Nicola Wood

These were both commisioned by Peter Mullins ( Mullins museum, new in the Los Angelos area http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/mullin-museum-is-finally-open-but-only.html )

I met Nicola at the Del Mar Concours and when I looked at these two photos I knew I had to post them, and share with you the beautiful artistic ability. See her gallery of automotive art at: http://nicolawood.com/gallery/gallery_page1.html

These images are pale in comparison to the originals I saw at the car show, but my computer garbled the images and they got knocked akimbo. So instead of the bigger better variety I took, here are two from her website, used with permission, to tempt and tease you to look at the rest of her paintings.

The red Delahaye can be seen here: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/mullin-museum-is-finally-open-but-only.html

The Peter Mullin auto museum, not open yet, but soon

Celebrating the art deco movement, the French Curves Collection exemplifies the zenith of the French automobile, including beautifully styled and amazingly engineered French-built cars covering several decades: Bugattis, Delages, Delahayes, Hispano Suizas, Talbot-Lagos and Voisins, many have won awards at concours d'elegance, and a number of the race cars have been past winners of historic races, such as the Grand Prix de Pau and Le Mans.
