Now look at the lines on the black & orange Duesenberg roadster! That car is gorgeous!

I believe the Delahaye is a 1937/38 Model 135M and coachwork almost has to be by Figoni & Falaschi, masters of the extreme. It's a eyeful to say the least, some have even called it voluptuous or erotic, others gaudy.

Yes the Delahaye is something else. How do the wheels turn with front fender skirts, or does it have a turn radius of a 53ft semi?

I've been really enjoying this thread and love all the older photos! Some look remarkably like Ektachrome rather than Kodachrome, though.

Hi
The Delahaye pictured above might well be this 1939 165 first shown at the New York World's Fair. http://www.mullinautomotivemuseum.com/#!/discovery/car/42 Steve
