Richard Adatto (with Diana Meredith), in their new book Figoni On Delahaye (read review) allowed us to reflect upon one of the strangest of the already strange French confections of Figoni. Early readers of Road and Track came face to face with a Narwal via the February 1949 cover, and probably never forgot it, even if they couldn’t describe it.
