I don't want to post images here, but Google the Corsica Daimler Double Six. You won't be disappointed. (It's my personal favorite Corsica offering, even over the Bugattis.) ;)

I'll just go ahead and ruin this thread for everyone.

I don't mean to brag, but I've actually seen the nominated car in person, which was why I nominated it. Utterly breathtaking to behold. One thing I was amazed at is how the door hinge is actually integrated into the silver trim that goes along the side.
 
Brag away, I'm jealous. :lol:

I'm a fan of engine turned sheetmetal, personally, and that gauge panel is a thing of beauty.
 
I don't think I really even care if it's a museum piece or if it's just art, if I saw one I'd think it was beyond cool.
 
Wow, a Squire. I'm genuinely impressed one ever showed up for voting. I know we have some pre-war auto enthusiasts here, but still. Also, SZ all day long.
 
So, it has a Frazer-Nash 1.5L supercharged engine producing an ungodly (for the time) amount of power, a preselector gearbox, magnesium drum brakes, an elegant, eye-watering beautiful body built by Corsica, and it's black?

Oh lawd, this is the definition of 30s Sub-Zero. Who cares if it's a museum piece? They don't use Leonardo's Saint Jerome as a stool (well, not anymore).

Remember that Corsica didn't design the bodies, they only built them (to what would be, even today, an insane standard of quality).
 
Solid Cool for me. The design doesn't have one striking element that makes it stand out from other classic cars of the era.

The Squire is prettier, much more sleeker and flowing. Maybe not as elegant, but a better design all in all.
