It was exhibited on Delahaye's stand at the 1952 Paris Auto Show. Its more curvaceous rear wings set this car apart from the other two Chapron-bodied 235 coupes. Its early ownership is not known, but in the 1970s, it was part of the Seydoux Collection before being sold to Claude Gueveler, a member of the Delahaye Club. Later, it was registered in Monaco. With its 150 horsepower 6-cylinder engine, Cotal electromagnetic gearbox, unique haute couture bodywork and luxury finish, this unique 235 Coupe is one of the last of the great Delahayes.
