Figoni on Delahaye
Autor Richard Adatto, Diana Meredith Fotograf Michael Furmanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 noi 2023
This book shows the evolution of Joseph Figoni’s creative process, illustrated through his pen and pencil drawings and designs. He also used clay models and true-scale wire mock-ups mounted on the chassis, but only his drawings and a small wooden model survived. Today, modern photographs, many by renowned automotive photographer Michael Furman, allow us to appreciate the unique features of these decades-old cars, now restored to their original splendor. In addition, the notebooks, vintage photographs, and historical documents in the Figoni archive help tell the full story of many cars. This book includes over fifty Delahayes in detail, each with striking Figoni coachwork, and many drawings, several never published before.
Claude Figoni, Joseph’s son, provides a vivid account of his father’s humble beginnings, his growth as a craftsman and artist, his difficulties during World War II, and his eventual recognition as France’s premier coachbuilder. Figoni on Delahaye also includes Richard Adatto’s personal recollections of his encounters with car owners and admirers, of finding cars long believed lost, and of meeting restorers and historians whose passion for Figoni-designed cars equals his own.

Recenzii
"With quality photography by Michael Furman, and excellent editing by Diana Meredith, Richard Adatto’s latest book is another masterpiece, and worth getting hold of for the sheer quality of images, illustrations, information, and aesthetics on two of the greatest automotive names ever."
"Combining Figoni et Falaschi with Delahaye is the perfect recipe for a racing pulse, and a mere glance at this lavish publication does just that."
