You are an individual so don’t own a car that looks like everybody elses. Terry Cook has a very wide ranging perspective of what makes cars look cool. Build it and have a look.That’s exactly what we’re doing here, and you’re invited to come along for the ride. We find the best looking cars in history and copy them.Īt this point in time we don’t honestly know if the finished, morphed mutation is going to look good, but there’s only one way to find out. Then cross breed those cars with the killer father of the American custom car Harry Westergard in Sacramento back when two kids named Barris were sweeping out his shop and you understand the crux of DELAHAYE USA styling. Cook does that nobody else dares, morphing classic killer coachbuilt classics from the best of the best Paris artists like Figoni, dentist and after hours car designer George Paulin of Porteau and Russian furniture maker turned coachbuilder Jacques Saoutchik. We will be sourcing the drive components for our first venture into building electric powered cars at EV WEST in San Marcos, CA. Add a smattering of Joe Figoni’s enclosed headlights from his stunning Talbot Lago teardrop coupes and the result is this Second Generation Bugatti Nasty/Delahaye/Talbot Lago mixed up and cross bread mutation.

By copying the feel of Figonis’ work and cross-breeding it with brilliant Jean Bugatti’s fabulous Type 57s Bugattis, the result is this striking full custom Nasty body and fender combination. Nasty, and this car will sport fully enclosed Figoni & Falaschi inspired Delahaye “pontoon” type fenders all around.Ĭook feels Guiseppi “Joseph” Figoni was one of, if not THE top,designer back in the mid-30’s to late 40’s in the european golden coachbuilt era. A new frame and chassis is being designed and built at Chad Morley’s HOT SHOE HOT RODS in Republic, MO. We’re excited to announce that a new, second generation Nasty coupe is in the works. This body style was one of four Type 57s bodies Cook eventually developed along with derivations producing the Bella Figura coupe, the Pacific fastback and the droptop Gangloff hardtop. The following year he drove another twenty round trips to Ft. One year he drove his Honda Civic to Detroit twenty round trips from Jersey to check on progress of the project at the clay modeler. Response on the internet from all over the world was so overwhelming Cook spent several years and untold dollars having a clay buck built professionally in Detroit with molds to follow. Twenty years ago the single car design that inspired Terry Cook to launch DELAHAYE USA was his personal and private vision of a chopped and dropped 1937 Type 57s Bugatti hardtop coupe with no B-pillar.
