1949 Delahaye 175 S
 |
| This car was a major crowd favorite in Carmel. Huge &
spectacular, how could such an outrageous car be created in the bleak,
postwar environment of 1949 France? |
 |
| How much is too much? All this for two people?
To your webmaster it's wonderful how the way over-the-top Delahaye delivers
a big raspberry to today's politically correct minimalists. It's
enormous, it gets terrible gas mileage, it has no smog equipment, it's
totally impractical -- but we sure love it! One question: How would
one park it against a curb without risking damage to its chrome fender
skirts? |
