Holy hot rod Batman! Look at the car photography of this studio commisioned by Petersen Museum for it's online photos!

1938 Delahaye type 135m coachwork by Figoni and Falashi, which was purchaed new for a customer in Oran Algeria, and was found in '92 under an olive tree in the Algerian Mouintains!
Some incredible strories, 1939 Bugatti type 57c originally given to the Prince of Persia, finally left the Shah's garage for $275 dollars in 1959. Then was owned by lots of Bugatti enthusiasts and finally restored in 1983, before ever being shown in public. The windshield is able to lower into the cowl by a hand crank!

Fabian Laghi is the photographer... well done, not cheesy. If you bought American Rodder about 10 years ago, this will be familiar

This guy is good! Not safe for work, but then I'm not at work.

Sometimes I wish I knew the stories behind some photos

I'm sure the words, "Oh. Shit." are just now running through the mind of this guy.
Oh, this had to be fun!



This has to be someone who cheated
And who and why made a 4x4 Russian thingy?


Now, WTF? Where in the world do you find this traffic pattern? And how in the hell do you switch lanes?
