De Dion gave the automobile life

Clipped to the Drawing Board by Dillon Smatcher

Few innovators, creators, thinkers and dreamers have had the flair of Jules Felix Philippe Albert de Dion.

He was flamboyant, nearly to a fault, a playboy who lived life to the fullest and enjoyed the sense of adventure nearly as much as he loved finding a better invention.

What a perfect mix, that energy and engineering foresight.
