I can see myself tooling around in this. It was breathtaking " in person ".
I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Seeing the old cars is awesome. Thanks for sharing that.

    The only comment I have is that we don't get much of a view of the
    front end. Though that can't really be a bad thing since the tail end of
    this one's back side has such an interesting feature.

    Sweeeet auto and a very nice photo of her. thumb.gif

    They gave her a great color on top of all the other excellent work they put in.
    I'd drive her down for a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk in a minute. mwink.gif
    Is that the twin next door in stylish convertible fashion?

    That is a beautiful image of one beautiful Delage. Was it a 1938, '39 or 40?

    Hi Lee...

    I didn't get a picture of the placard telling about this car and I don't remember the year. But you are quite right...this is one stunning car. There were 4 or 5 of this make at the show and they were all beautiful.

    Delage made the D8 - 120 from 1937 to 1940. It was designed and built for Delage by Letourneur and Marchand. It was available with either a straight six or straight eight (exhaust was two-into-one, times the number of cyilinders: Four exhaust pipes = eight cylinders) with a V12 prototype made in '38.

    If you took photos of the others, I'd love to see them, as Delage and Delahaye are my favorite French cars from that era.
