1939 Delahaye Type 135 MS Cabriolet

The one-off coachwork of this Delahaye, with the rare 135MS engine, was begun by Hermann Graber in 1939 and completed in 1940, after which it was sold to Dr. Rudolf Bosshard of Zurich. In 1966, Mr. Graber bought the car back and completed a restoration, making this one of the few Classic Era coach-built automobiles to have actually been owned and restored by its original coachbuilder. Hermann Graber kept the Delahaye until his passing in 1970, and it was maintained by his wife until 1997 when the family finally sold it to Robert Temperli. In 2019 it was acquired by the fourth and current owner, who has maintained it mechanically but has proudly preserved its original Graber restoration from the late 1960s.
