The Story
With the announcement of the Baillon Collection's uncovering in January 2015 and their consignment to the Artcurial auction at Retromobile in February, it was decided that a small Addendum to the main three-volume work, Jacques Saoutchik, Maitre Carrossier was warranted, since the find included three important Saoutchik-bodied cars. This small book includes: A description with souvenir images of the three Saoutchik-bodied cars in the Baillon Collection. Further account of Gijsbert-Paul Berk's time with Jacques and Pierre Saoutchik. The remarkable discovery by Christoph Grohe of what must be the world's oldest chassis fitted with a Saoutchik body. Information on a Saoutchik Cadillac parade convertible used by His Majesty King Hussein of Jordan. Further background on the man who presented himself as Sir John Gaul. More Saoutchik cars and drawings that have been uncovered. Corrections and errata.
