Delage released an 8-cylinder in 1929. From 1931, many coachbuilders designed bodies for the D8, available in a shorter variant called D8 S (Sport). This one (chassis #38229) is bodied by Fernandez & Darrin. Found in 1978 without having been used for decades, the car was restored in this lilac colour in the late 1980s. It has recently been repainted in brown.

The D8-120 is the top-of-the-range model of this French manufacturer of luxury cars, as famous as Delahaye, Talbot and Bugatti. For 1937, it received a new 120 hp 4.75-litre 8-cylinder, while the chassis inspired the bodybuilder Pourtout, who designed, for the Salon de Paris in October, one of its most beautiful bodyworks: this aerodynamic coupé with sophisticated window surfaces.
