Lumière Cabriolet
1988 Modern classic
By 1988 every other car in the class was assembled on a line. The Lumière was not: its body was fitted by two people, its hood mechanism adjusted by feel, and its final inspection took a full day. Ondine built 240 before the process became indefensible on cost.
