French coachbuilder Franay gave all the swoops and curves possible to this 1947 Bentley MkVl Cabriolet.

French curves. I think of the Portout variant of the Talbot-Lago. Specifically; the 1939 Talbot-Lago 150c-ss Pourtout Coupe and ALL the French curves, and oh, yeah, that of the champagne flute as well! 😎

@perrone1 I love those  Art Nouveau style French posters.

The conservative grille is at odds with the sweeping lines of the remainder of the car.
