Equipment
Chrome wire wheels, Marchal headlights and fog lights, skirted fenders, clear steering wheel rim and dash knobs. Allegedly built for British Blonde Bombshell Dia Dors who was already a sensation at 18. Its voluptuous curves and fecund flanks mirror Dias although the probocis over the grille resembles nothing of Dias, or anything else for that matter. Fresh concours restoration by Fran Roxas which reunited the origil components and a similar engine after a number of years with an Olds Torodo drivetrain. Displayed at Pebble Beach in 2007 and Peoples Choice at Amelia Island. Comes with its recently located unrestored origil engine. Extravagant doesnt do this car justice. Its presentation is more than flawless.
Market commentary
A fabulous confection and one of the last flings of the coachbuilt and concours era, the price of this Delahaye is for the most part immaterial and Saoutchiks extravagance is legendary. Restored by one of the masters, this will be a gratifying centerpiece of any collection for years. Its worth what the Monterey bidders paid for it.
