1950 Talbot-Lago T26 Record Cabriolet (by Antem)
The Talbot-Lago T26 Record, unveiled at the 1946 Paris Salon, targeted affluent Parisians with multiple body styles including coupe, cabriolet, and sedan options, plus bare chassis for custom coachwork. The car featured innovative engineering with independent front suspension and a driver-friendly Wilson pre-selector gearbox.
Its 4.5-liter twin-cam six-cylinder engine, developed by Lago and Marchetti, produced 170 hp, making it among the world’s most powerful cars. Notable coachbuilder Antem created distinctive semi-pontoon designs for the T26, characterized by flowing lines and an elegant integration of traditional elements into a modern form.
