Standing for Modifie Speciale, the 135 MS was the definitive version of Delahaye's signature chassis. First shown at the 1935 Paris Auto Show, the 135 was a lower, more sporting version of the 18 hp Type 138 that it replaced. It had 100 mph performance, which made it one of the fastest cars in the world. When the MS was released in 1938, its chassis had already won many victories, including the 1938 24 Hours of LeMans. What made these Delahayes special was their connection to the great French Carrosseries that made extravagant bodies and interiors for them. Many great coachbuilders bodied the 135 MS, including Saoutchik, Guillore, and Franay as well as Henri Chapron who was responsible for this car in 1947.
