The origins of Delahaye a French vehicle manufacturer for Foreign Affairs and lie in a cabinet manufacturer established long ago that produce remarkably, in 1845 all things brick making machines obviously not the car or on horseback and buggy transportation.
Emile Delahaye was first a railway engineer who developed the rolling stock of railways for French and Belgium. But he made his first car-like German Daimler in 1895 and two years later he moved his company from Tours to Paris and settled in a variety of engineering projects.
The first drive shaft cars came in 1907 and the Draft V6 (again, a remarkable achievement so early in the history of the automobile) in 1912. During the “Great War” – World War 1 – the company itself produces a large number and variety of products for the war effort. including large quantities of arms, stationary engines, weapons parts and aircraft parts. But after the war the company moved to cars kinda boring yet safe and reliable (not always the case in the day at the beginning of the automotive industry) to build. But at this point in the history of the company are noted to be in general a very backward and drawings.
It was necessary to line the car in a big way in the manner and with the current limited sales in the sales numbers are very bad and the new design and drawings were first shown publicly in 1933 at the Salon car modernize Paris. Not only is it an array of lightweight chassis with independent front suspension have been, but it was a choice of 3.3-liter six-cylinder or 2.1-liter report “four” by the box supports speed electro-magnetic or Cotal a synchronized change of choice. The link was possible, not what was then considered the “great investment”, since these engines and motors have been developed directly from units already in commercial production company. Not only that, but for the first time in years, Delahaye had the body with what is called the “look”, “eye candy” and later with the advent of the automobile production in his America, General Motors, “style”.
The largest six-cylinder car was effectively the prototype of the famous “135″ series, which until the late 1940s would Delahaye. This design can be said not to do the work on its own, but it was uncertain as of 1935, Delage, Delahaye took to keep the financially troubled concern. Delage had seemed to be an established customer base and net worth. Delage was “elegance” is given by Delahaye, and so nothing less than a radical change and changes in direction and helped to provoke fortune later. It was not long until a “Super Deluxe” six-cylinder car from Monthléry went to 19 world records and take world-class, and if the same car won a trophy in Alpine Rally of the name the “Coupe des Alpes’ variant was baptized.
Delahaye production went to a number of major car release the note. Among these “competitive” Type 1935 and Type 175S variant on the second World War II in 1948 introduced the work to be actually a 135 chassis with an improved engine and modern style coach Smoky.
What happened to that line considered the automatic things – was viewed as much in the customer buying a car? That’s all the same as in our current climate automotive industry – the automotive industry, the rationalization and consolidation. The company was founded by the company “Hotchkiss” in 1954, which eventually ended his know-how, and for reasons of economy of scale gained – should be fully and exclusively by truck only. This meant both the end and the disappearance of well-regarded product line Delahaye car.
