Tucked up the back of the Paris Motor Show in Hall 8 was the “Cars and Fashion” show. Or something like that – it was rather unhelpfully all in French, so we are a bit unclear on some of the cars and what purpose they served by being there – but they were all gorgeous and Hall 8 was one of the highlights of the show.
Here we bring you a selection of our favourites from Hall 8 at Paris!
Tucked up the back of the show in Hall 8 was the “Cars and Fashion” show. Or something like that – it was rather unhelpfully all in French, so we are a bit unclear on some of the cars and what purpose they served by being there – but they were all gorgeous, including this 1934 Peugeot 402 BL Éclipse Décapotable – the world’s first folding hardtop production car.
No idea what this is, but it was awesome!
An immaculate Facel Vega
The always gorgeous Mercedes-Benz 300SL.
One of the few Japanese cars to make the “fashion show” – the diminutive Subaru 360!
Nope, no idea…
1958 Citreon DS – The Goddess.
Wedgy Alfa Romeo concept sat next to an equally wedgy Maserati and a stunningly sexy Mercedes-Benz C111.
The legendary Mercedes C111 was straight from the Mercedes-Benz museum!
The wedgy Maserati was the 1971 Giugiaro-designed Boomerang concept.
That’s a nice unobtrusive steering column…
One of the other Japanese cars to feature in Hall 8 was a beautiful Toyota 2000GT. For obvious reasons…
One of the earlier, prettier and more graceful Alpine A310s, before all the wings and bulges appeared…
A pretty little Peugeot 504 cabrio.
The 1981 Renault RE30 F1 car that Alain Prost scored his first F1 victory in
The always stunning Alfa Romeo Montreal in a particularly ’70s shade of orange!
The elegant Fiat 130 coupe.
The timless (and curveless) design of a classic Volvo wagon!
The legendary Peugeot 205 GTi!
Part MPV, part 2+2 coupe, all weird – the Renault Avantime!
Some appalling awfulness inflicted on a poor, unsuspecting Citroen C3 by Dolce & Gabbana…
Flames are usually cool. Usually…
The timeless original Range Rover
More concept car weirdness from Renault…
An oddly appealing Paul Smith paint job on an original Mini.
An exercise in restraint by Hermes on a 2CV
An exercise in, erm, the opposite of restraint by Jeremy Scott an a Smart ForTwo…
No idea what these were, but they looked like they were from the ’60s, were actually from 2011 and were very cool!
Again, no idea…
