Delahaye
Founded in 1894, Delahaye spent its greatest decade — the 1930s — as the rolling canvas of French coachbuilding's golden age: Type 135 chassis clothed by Figoni et Falaschi, Chapron and Saoutchik in some of the most extravagant automotive bodywork ever created, with the racing pedigree to match, including outright victory at Le Mans in 1938. The marque faded after the war and was absorbed in 1954, but the great coachbuilt cars are concours royalty of the first order — perennial Best of Show contenders at Pebble Beach and Villa d'Este.
