Hi,
Ain't that a kind of "perfect class" ? Same age than a Citroën Traction, but far better look. Oh, and the 402 was a nice racecar, as it won LeMans 24 twice, IIRC ('38 and '39). It was the base for the Diesel studies (stopped because of WW2), and there was a prototype specially built with optimal aerodynamics (which wasn't a concern for many car makers at this era). The aerodynamics-optimized proto can be seen at the Museum in Sochaux, and I thought it looks like the Batmobile
Neither do I.
