Commentaires du vendeur sur 1948' Delahaye 135M Convertible
Sonoma Classic Motorcars and our new brokerage in Cascais Portugal Riviera MotorSports is proud to present the fully restored 1948 Delahaye 135M Convertible. The image presented is for representation purpose only and is not the actual vehicle. Images and supporting documents will be provided upon request. In the aftermath of World War II, Delahaye had survived battered but not broken. Until production of their landmark 135-series could resume, the company paid the bills by building commercial trucks and buses. Once the 135M was revised for the post-war climate, however, Delahaye was back in business as one of France’s premier sports car makers. The revised 135M was in essence the same as the pre-war model but it featured a widened track, and more powerful, refined versions of the same 3,558 c.c. six-cylinder engine, with output as high as 160 horsepower in ultimate specification. As it had before the war, Delahaye partnered with many great French coachbuilders such as Chapron, Franay, and Letourner & Marchand to skin its fabulous 135M chassis. But it was the work of Figoni et Falaschi that made the biggest impact on Delahaye’s image. The partnership was in many ways, the ideal marriage of the flamboyant high-style of Figoni, and the engineering excellence of Delahaye. This 135M is a spectacular example of their brilliance.
