The Delahaye 135 M (Modifie) was based on the original Delahaye 135 first shown in 1935. Combining luxurious bodywork with Delahaye's race-winning engineering, the Delahaye 135 M is one of the most desirable cars from the prewar era. This 1937 Delahaye 135 M Convertible Coupe is from the French Carrosserie Henri Chapron. Built on Delahaye's shorter competition chassis, it has a 95 horsepower 3.5-liter engine fitted with triple Solex carburetors. The sporty body with its sharply raked one-piece windshield sits low to the ground and features beautifully sculpted teardrop fenders accented by round vents on the side of the hood and a chrome beltline moulding that extends from the radiator surround back through the doors before falling smoothly off at the tail. The car has just been restored by its current owner.
