This is one of the most beautiful cars in the world, especially considering it was made in 1937. It is a Delage D8-120, made in France, and these pictures were taken in 2005 at an auto exhibition in the USA, where this car took top prize in the show. When these cars were built they were produced as an engine and chassis, and then that was sent to the coach builder of your choice, for its own custom body. This particular car was originally owned by the owner of the company, Louis Delage, and if you wanted to buy it these days, you'd be looking at spending over a million dollars. This is one of the finest examples of a luxury sports coupe ever made. It even has a column gear shift on which the gears are electrically selected by a small lever. And remember please that this was in the 1930s.
A beauty indeed. Now how do we get it to the domai set? Then I'd love to be the photographer....

Glad to hear you're alive & well - I was beginning to wonder.
ReplyDeleteI can remember when we wanted to do more than just photograph beauties we found.... Ah, those were the days!
Stay warm, my friend...
