Description
80 hp, 3,818 cc inline six-cylinder engine with overhead valves, manual gearbox, beam axle front suspension with semi-elliptic leaf springs, live rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf springs, and four-wheel drum brakes.
Wheelbase: 2,500 mm • Offered from the Estate of John O’Quinn • Unique coachwork with Delage engineering A trained engineer, Louis Delage began his automotive career at Peugeot in 1903, launching his own company just two years later.

It was equally known for its excellent grand tourers, strict quality control and jewel-like detailing.
In 1921, the Delage road car line included the newly introduced GL, essentially a revision of the prior CO with an overhead valve-train and increased power, which was fitted with a number of sporting and skiff-type bodies and developed into the single overhead cam GL S and the dual overhead cam GL GS.
