3. 1925 Rolls-Royce Phantom I Aerodynamic Coupe

This unique Rolls-Royce has a fascinating and checkered history. It started out as a convertible, but went on to receive the awe-inspiring coachwork that it has today some time during the mid-1930s. It was created by a Belgian builder, Jonckheere. The Aerodynamic Coupe's striking appearance and fastidious attention to detail make it one of the most desirable Rolls-Royces in the world, if not the most desirable. It features circular doors, twin sunroofs, a palatial interior and even a fin protruding from the rear for high-speed stability. Sadly, during the '70s, this car fell into the hands of a man who committed automotive 'sacrilege'. He covered this priceless car in gold dust paint and used it as a traveling sideshow. It disappeared for 20 years before reemerging in the '90s, but thankfully, it has been restored to its original glory and today is once more the impressive vehicle it once was.

4. 1936 Delahaye 135 Competition Court Figoni et Falaschi Cabriolet

In 1894, a Parisian auto builder, Delahaye, was founded. It had great success selling cars and trucks, making most of its income from the sale of the trucks. However, that all changed following the 135's introduction. Various coachbuilders, such as Chapron and Letourner et Marchand, made bodies for the model, but the Figoni et Falaschi-bodied cars are the ones most coveted.
