Re: the 6 million dollar car
A sports car once owned by the late British actress Diana Dors could fetch up to ?4 million ($6m) at a Californian auction on Saturday, organisers say.
The 1949 Delahaye Roadster, which some have dubbed as the most beautiful car in the world, was given to Dors when she was 17.
The sky blue car has been described by auctioneers as "extravagant and outrageous - a rolling sculpture".
Dors, who was seen as the British Marilyn Monroe, died in 1984 aged 52.
Born Diana Mary Fluck, Dors became known as a 1950s blonde sex symbol, but was also well-respected for her acting skills.
RM auctioneers said the car was curvaceous, sexy and flamboyant, just like its former owner.

Re: the 6 million dollar car
I had no clue this was one state away, located in new hampshire.
old school tools, and bucks, and new tools...makin the exotic panels.
I ponder who could make for modern cars, the quarters rounded, or maybe a tailgate and its geometry.
these guys are going for the gusto doing very rare exotic.
funny enough, I found two baby bottom round edged quarters for a subaru in new hampshire.. and learned they do not exist after buying them. I wonder if there is other places connected to these guys work..somebdoy just making stuff randomly in small numbers. Wishful thinking for the most part.
I could really care less about delaheya doin usa. (hehehe) ;DPreviously boxer3main

Re: the 6 million dollar car
Delahayes are gorgeous cars. I prefer the ones built in the mid 30's. More art deco.BS'er formally known as Rebeldryver

Gorgeous car, but I don't know about the most beautiful in the world. This 1936 Bugatti 57SC has my vote. This is the car that left me speechless the first time I laid eyes on it.

Re: the 6 million dollar car
While I can't say that I love the styling per se, I can say that the fact every piece of that car was made with human hands stuns me. All that metal was hand formed, all the interior materials were sewn, cut, installed, and polished by hand. Monuments to human achievement.Originally posted by LaplanderGorgeous car, but I don't know about the most beautiful in the world. This 1936 Bugatti 57SC has my vote.
