    From the color and the general layout, I strongly suspect that it's a Delahaye from the mid-30's.

    Thanks! I looked at some other Delahayes, I think you're right, and Dear Lord they made BEAUTIFUL cars! This is a 1953 Coupe 235, I'm in love with it.

    The beauty of that 235 Coupe is more down to Chapron than Delahaye.
    This is a 1953 french equivalent of the P4/5. The 235 was the last model to come from Delahaye before they closed in 54.

    Should've been at Pebble last year.. Delahaye was one of the featured marques (the other being Voisin).
