Paul Bracq (born December 13, 1933, Bordeaux, France) is an automotive designer noted for his work at Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Citroën, and Peugeot. Bracq’s design career began in the studio of Philippe Charbonneaux, serving as his assistant in 1953 and 1954. During this period, the studio produced the designs for the French Presidential limousine built by Citroën, a one-off Pegaso coupe, and other automobiles. Bracq served his mandatory military service from late 1954 through 1957. Subsequently, he worked for Daimler-Benz, heading its design studio in Sindelfingen, a post he held for ten years.

He also styled the Mercedes 600, 230SL Pagoda roadster, the W108/W109, W114/W115 series and its stablemate: the W114 coupé – all of the 60s. We celebrate his birthday with a typical Mercedes W115 he designed…
