Letourner et Marchand Berline
Coachwork: Letourner et Marchand

The Delahaye automobile manufacturing company was started by Emile Delahaye in 1894, in Tours, France. By the mid-thirties, its long and low-slung chassis served as the basis for some of the most beautiful automobiles ever built. Most of the great coachbuilders, including Figoni et Falaschi, Chapron, and Letourneur et Marchand, provided bodies for these cars. The 148L chassis, manufactured from 1937 to 1953, was 3.15 meters long and included hydraulic brakes. This later 148L was bodied by the Letourner et Marchand Company. It remains in its original, un-restored condition.

The Delahaye Type 148 was produced from 1937 through 1953. This luxury car shared many mechanical components with its Delahaye 135 sibling. Power was from a six-cylinder engine that offered around 100 horsepower and mated to a four-speed manual gearbox.
