Polished aluminum? That's got to be hard to keep tidy.

Never mind. If you can afford this car, your staff will keep it pristine for you!

If you are lucky you shouldn't have polishing problems.
My friend knew a guy in Netherlands who owned a nice Bugatti T35. Rather problematically he wasn't a wealthy guy he had gotten it dirt cheap ages ago when the collector market didn't yet exist. His daily driver was a Volvo 460.

I think it's a Delahaye 135 Sport Competion Teardrop Coupe by Figoni et Falaschi.
Almost perfect but I don't totally like how the rear part of the roof goes. Either the door is too short or the roof line is too high. Maybe a bit of both. It still beats around 99.99% of all other cars.
That just gave me an idea. Could a car's design be rated with value? Art deco styled car could be rated in Saoutchik scale, super cars in Giugiaros (or Gandinis?) and so on.

It takes the "coupé" concept to an extreme but that was a common design theme in the 1930s:

Note the "trafficators" behind the door:

I think that my favorite of all teardrop coupes is Talbot-Lago T150C SS with Figoni et Falaschi bodywork that has exposed front lights. I'm not sure if that (chassis 90109) is the only existing as I couldn't find any other with the same front end treatment.
