Advertising Poster Peugeot 402 Car Elegance Art Deco Girard - Original vintage advertising poster for Peugeot - Everything is more beautiful with a Peugeot / tout est plus beau avec une Peugeot - featuring an illustration of a model 402 red car coming up the hill with a lady looking over at a distant island in the lake. The Peugeot 402 is a large family car produced by Peugeot in Sochaux, France, from 1935 to 1942. It was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1935, replacing the Peugeot 401. The Peugeot 402 stands out in automotive design by its very streamlined, but also still somewhat Art Deco styling, strongly influenced by that of the 1934 Chrysler Airflow; especially the low-volume 402 Darl'mat coupé is viewed as distinctly Art Deco. Peugeot's 402 took it two steps further, however: the grille has an even more pronounced rake, but most importantly, Peugeot brought the headlights to the center, behind the grille, and in front of the radiator, sixteen years before the 1951 General Motors Le Sabre concept car. Good condition, repaired tears, folds, staining, creasing, small paper loss on bottom left corner, backed on old linen. Country of issue: France, designer: Antoine Girard, size (cm): 111x76, year of printing: 1950.
