The Delahaye 135 debuted at the 1935 Paris Motor Show, offering a sophisticated chassis and a durable 3.6-liter inline-6 engine. Its engineering was proven on the track, with competition versions winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1938 and the Monte Carlo Rally in 1937 and 1939. Delahaye sold the 135 as a rolling chassis, allowing clients to commission custom bodies from the era's most celebrated coachbuilders.
Collectors prize the 135 for its magnificent coachwork. Firms like Figoni et Falaschi, Chapron, Saoutchik, and Pourtout created some of the most dramatic and beautiful automotive designs of the Art Deco period on the 135 platform. The combination of a sporting chassis and bespoke, sculptural bodywork makes these cars true works of art. A car's value is almost entirely dependent on which *carrossier* built the body and the car's documented history.
Buying Tips
- A car's value is tied to its coachbuilder. Confirm the body's authenticity and originality, as re-bodied cars are worth substantially less.
- If equipped with the Cotal pre-selector gearbox, ensure it functions correctly. It requires specialist knowledge to diagnose and repair.
- Carefully inspect the chassis for cracks or signs of old repairs, particularly around the suspension and engine mounts.
- Examine the body for hidden corrosion or filler. Aluminum panels over a steel or wood frame can hide serious issues.
- Original trim, instruments, and accessories are extremely hard to find. A complete car is far more valuable than one with missing parts.
