 Voisin, a cruise in the world of art

Yes,definitely Voisin was a unique designer.The cars he made were extremely creative, original and breathtaking, with no compromise, neither influence from colleagues as Delage, Delahaye and many other bright body makers. Between hundreds of shiny brand new restored classics, the Aerosport is always one of the few you keep in mind, at the end of the day!
French pre-war design and "high tech" were surely the schools to be at this time, and a true high class car had to be dressed there.All this collapsed with the war and the weight of the art became nothing compared to fast growing metal one...Most of these marvellous bodies and frame became guns, tanks, bombs...A shame? Yes, but difficult to re write history!

Gabriel Voisin was a true artist who combined two of his gifts to build some of the most beautiful cars of the 1920s and 1930s. Not only was he a briljant designer of automobiles with his unique sleeve valve engine and preselector gearbox but the bodies he designed for his cars were unique as well. He used art deco influences in his designs and to my knowledge he is one of the few designers that were influenced by art. His designs looked good but worked good as well as they were very aerodynamic. Any car penned by Gabriel Voisin stood out from cars designed by other designers and that has given him a special place in history. It is a shame very few of the cars survived.
