The 12 Most Beautiful Art Deco Cars Ever Made

5. 1939 Rolls-Royce Phantom III Labourdette Vutotal Cabriolet

Originally produced in 1939, and the second Rolls-Royce on our list, the Phantom III received its ridiculously opulent bodywork in 1947. It was commissioned by an extremely wealthy eccentric by the name of Louis Ritter, who instructed Parisian coachbuilder, Labourdette, to spare no expense when creating the body. It ended up costing $44,000 – the equivalent of $450,000 today! The Labourdette Vutotal Cabriolet features vacuum-powered windows and brass trimmings everywhere.

6. 1937 Delage D8-120S

Another French builder from the art deco era created these masterpieces, which were in production from 1929 to 1940, until the German military occupation during WWII brought these cars to the end of their production run. It is unknown exactly how many were built, but several of them are regularly seen on the international classic car show circuit.
