About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good paint, interior and major chrome. Instrument faces are old and dirty. Underbody has been quickly repainted over old, peeling undercoat. Very good interior wood. A handsome car, but not particularly well presented.

Market commentary

The 3-carb intake adds just enough power to make this Delahaye enjoyable to drive and its combination of style and performance is attractive, at least as attractive as the price it brought.
