What’s unique about the Delahaye was its contemporary beautification. You can see its wheels are almost hidden and its front has puzzling elements, which are completely contrary to our modern cars. The chrome was the name of the game during the time of its production, so it does feature this element at most places.

Afterward, the car got its original engine and was presented for auction at Sports & Classics of Monterey with an approximated price of $4,000,000-$6,000,000 USD.
