1937 Delage D8-100 Navigation
This 1937 Delage Coupé Chauffeur is believed to be the fifth D8-100 produced and one of five examples bodied with this coachwork by Carrosserie Franay. When new, this car was exhibited by Franay at the concours d'elegance at Deauville on July 14th, 1936. It may also have been the vehicle displayed on the coachbuilder's stand at the Paris Salon later that October.

This Delage D8 remained in France until the late 1950s before being exported to the United States. Fred Tycher of Dallas, Texas acquired the Delage in the 1960s and treated it to its first restoration. It was shown in CCCA competition during the early 1970s and appeared in Automobile Quarterly, Volume 14, Number 2.

The Delage has been given a cosmetic restoration and finished in its present formal black exterior with black leather and pinstriped soft grey cloth upholstery.
