This Figoni & Falaschi-bodied Type 135 Narval cabriolet, built on the desirable high-performance MS chassis, was first shown by Joseph Figoni himself at the Barcelona Motor Show in 1948. It was bought off the stand by Jose Lago Blanco, the owner of the luxurious Palace Hotel in Madrid. After a succession of Spanish owners, the car came to the United States in 1956. In 1985, the red Delahaye caught the eye of collector Noel Thompson, who showed it at Pebble Beach in 1987, garnering a First in Class. In 1992, when the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance gathered many of the world's greatest Delahayes for a special display, this car was selected to be featured on the Concours poster, painted by William Motta. The car was acquired by its current owners in 1995.
