1938 Delage, DB-120S, Aerosport Coupe, Letourneur & Marchand

This car blew me away when it entered onto the show grounds. The sun was just poking above the bay and this car graced the gravel entrance.

Heres the description:

1938 Delage, DB-120S, Aerosport Coupe, Letourneur & Marchand Jown W. Rice Sr., Pottsville, Pennsylvania This rare Delage carries one of the finest and most elegant bodies ever to grace a Delage. It was displayed at the 1938 Paris Salon. The eight cylinder engine has inline overhead valves and the 4.75 liter block delivers 120 h.p. This sporty and elegant coupe spent most of its life in Europe until 1988 when it was offered at the Sotheby’s Automobile Auction in Geneva. It was purchased by the Blackhawk Collection in Danville, California. Shortly thereafter, Blackhawk restored it to the highest standards. In 2008, it was purchased by the current owner and resides in the John W. Rich Collection of Pennsylvania. It has won numerous awards including “Best in Class” at Ocean Reef in Florida in 2009.







I can't remember specifically which award this took home.

regards
