1949 Delahaye Type 135M Navigation
First shown at the Paris Auto Salon in 1949, this is a unique and flamboyant Delahaye with coachwork of Saoutchik. It was built specifically for the Paris Auto Salon and with an eye for luxury rather than speed. The design of the body and interior was so complicated that it took over a year to complete. It has several interesting features like a removable roof above the driver and doors that open with a push button. The headliner cloth and interior panels are resonant of an Art Deco palace. As a final touch, the interior fittings are finished in 14-karat gold. The original price tag was $20,000 making it one of the most expensive vehicles of its day.
