Superlatives: prettiest, ugliest

It’s all good, opening an email from Norm with a stack of car pictures, no better way to start a day. 

This morning we have 11:30 Noon Healing Eucharist with Lunch and Bible Study, lunch will be fried chicken and I thought to tell what we’re going to discuss, 

but cars take precedence. 

In the stack of pics, one manufacturer jumps out uniquely. 

Emile Delahaye (1843-1905) was a French engineer and early car enthusiast who built his first cars in 1894 for racing. 

Emile retired in poor health in 1900, but his company was continued 

and in the 1930s produced incredibly beautiful streamlined classics. 

Delahaye cars are most recognizable by the front wheel fender skirts that appeared in the mid-1930s. 

They ceased production in 1954.

Delahaye front fender skirts remind me that the 1949 bathtub Nash covered the front wheels -- that is to say, Delahaye reminds me not of the Nash, but that the Nash ...

Delahaye topping the world’s most beautiful cars of all time, 

the bathtub Nash at the bottom, 

there was never an uglier car, never, never, ever. The best place for one is shown here, beautified by nature.
