Figoni on Delahaye
NOWOŚĆ
"Figoni on Delahaye," authored by Richard Adatto and co-written by Diana Meredith, celebrates the artistic brilliance of Joseph Figoni and his exquisite designs for Delahaye automobiles. The book showcases Figoni's creative process through his sketches and designs, supplemented by clay models and wire mock-ups.
While only a few artifacts remain, modern photographs, including those by Michael Furman, reveal the timeless beauty of Figoni's creations, now meticulously restored.
The Figoni Archive, comprising notebooks, vintage photos, and historical records, enriches the narrative of these iconic cars. Over fifty Delahayes, each featuring Figoni's distinctive coachwork, are meticulously detailed in the book. An appendix titled "Joseph Figoni's Designs and Drawings" presents numerous unpublished sketches.
Claude Figoni provides insights into his father's journey from humble beginnings to becoming France's preeminent coachbuilder, while Richard Adatto shares personal anecdotes of his experiences with car enthusiasts and the restoration community.
