Delahaye type 135

Chapron 1948


Some of the most graceful bodies of
the 1930s were designed by the Paris based Figoni & Falaschi Carrossiers.
Characteristic for the the designs are the many chrome accents on the
curvacious body. Most of the chassis fitted with Figoni & Falaschi
bodies were French, Delahaye was no exception. The 135 MS chassis with a
135 bhp engine was the perfect base for this Cabriolet
body.
