NO THROW AWAY

Text by Bruce Berman, Editor

Whether you play guitar, do not play guitar, have no interest in playing guitar or don’t get enough sleep because you can’t stop playing the guitar, this is one of the most soothing videos we have ever seen.

STEEL, LEATHER AND WOOD BEAUTY

Without a doubt one of the most beautiful cars ever made, the Talbot-Lago Teardrop Coupé was designed by Giuseppe Figoni, one of the greatest French coachbuilders before World War II. The sheer definition of Art-Deco, the T-150C SS was nicknamed Goutte d’Eau (teardrop) because of its round shape and sensual curves. Not just a pretty car, though, as the Talbots of the era won many races, including the French Grand Prix of 1937. A stock Talbot Teardrop even competed at the 1938 24 of Le Mans race, placing third overall. You can auction one of these beauties at around $4,000,000.
