A happy birthday to our (certainly, mine) favorite automotive stylist,  Paul Bracq.  Today, 13-December, he turns 79.  He enjoyed a lovely day in Bordeaux with his family, and a visit to the Automobile Club of South West France.  Happy and in great health, may he enjoy many more birthdays!

a BIIIIG thank you to Mr. Paul Bracq for our cars Happy Birthday!!! If my count is correct it means that Mr Bracq was 29 when he designed Pagoda, or given that the inception lasted some time (2 years if I remember well), he must have been 27 or so…. Difficult to believe that conservative Mercedes managers were so forward minded.


Bon Anniversaire, Maitre Bracq Nos meilleurs voeux vous accompagnent
