In the late 1930s, sweeping aerodynamic lines pointed the way to the future. The 150-C's gorgeous shape stems from the designer's eye for modernism rather them from considerations of efficient air flow.

The body was created by coachbuilders Figoni & Falaschi, famous for their flowing, highfendered cars, automobiles that look futuristic even today.

The car's convertible top is concealed entirely within its teardrop shaped tail. The v-shaped windshield folds down for the complete open-air driving experience. The T150-C has a 4.0-liter 140-horsepower 6-cylinder engine.
