Classical Drive's New Masthead Launched!

Our New Masthead

Our regular visitors will, I hope, notice that this site has an all-new masthead, one that symbolises both Classical Drive's editorial theme and our personal taste in automobile styling. The new masthead, by the way, was a team effort involving Creative Weblogging's art director (who did most of the work) and myself. If it suggests art deco design principles, well... that's no co-incidence. The voluptuous automobile dominating our new design is a 1937 Delahaye 135M with coachwork by Figoni & Falaschi, an art deco icon that I was fortunate to photograph at the 2006 Pebble Beach Concours. This being a unique occasion, I thought you might enjoy seeing the original, uncropped, photo. You'll notice that, extraordinarily, an identical model (different color) is parked alongside; Delahaye was a featured marque that year. Do you approve of the new masthead? Like the colors? Like the car? I'd love to hear from you, so please make use of the "comments" box below. Your opinions count.
