As usual, many coachbuilt cars at the 2012 issue of Rétromobile in Paris. Here are my favorites…

As we are allowed just 8 photographs in each post, here are 8 other favorites at Rétromobile 2012…

And finally, the oldest ones, but not the less spectacular ones : french curves and english dignity !

Superb review!

Thank you phaeton

My pics are in the appropriate coachbuilder chapters guys. We must all have passed each other in the corridors.

Nice pics! Thanks!!
but... are you sure the first Simca is by Facel?... it looks Stabilimenti Farina to me...

Thank you for all your comments.
We should have organised a meeting at Rétromobile. Maybe next year ?
Iluvatar, I am positive about the Simca 9 coupé as a Facel production, but this is true that it is based on an original design from Stabilimenti for a Fiat 1100. For the whole story, look at my post in the Simca 8 thread in the Facel section !
As for the Siata 208 S, originally it was a Stabilimenti Farina realisation, but this one was perhaps built by Bertone, as Stab Farina closed at that time. Difficult to know, there was no badge on the car !

Yes, that's a good idea. Let's meet next year !

Thank you for the pictures. This event is on my bucket list.

I don't know why unrestored cars are so fascinating to me but that Ghia Chrysler looks so cool!
