SANS RÉSERVE

For Delahaye, the Type 135 was an undeniable success, contributing to its reputation and popularity.

With a rich history of
competition victories, it was also a favourite among leading coachbuilders, who found its chassis an ideal base for creating
the most beautiful bodywork, which won numerous prizes at concours d’elegance events.
The example shown here is a 135 M model with bodywork by Dubos, a coachbuilder based in Neuilly-sur-Seine and later in
Puteaux, west of Paris.

The catalogue presented it as a ‘luxury coach’ called ‘Gascogne’.

Its shape echoes the traditional
Delahaye grille in its post-war design, with a tapered rear whose curves are reminiscent of certain Italian coachworks.

Around
30 cars with this bodywork were produced between 1948 and 1951.
