Title: Solved - NEH 1084: 1953 Delahaye 135 MS with Faget-Varnet body from a Ford Comète
Post by: Carnut on May 09, 2011, 09:37:13 AM
I don't know a huge amount about this car, only its name and from when it dates.
So 1 point for its name and date of build, and another for whoever can tell me (and prove!) who built it:

Delahaye 135 MS, 1952 ( but I am not absolutely certain for the year ). The coachbuilder is Faget-Varnet, but the body comes from a Ford Comète - so Faget-Varnet put the body on Delahaye chassis but the maker of the body is Facel, who bodied the Comète. For a prove, cfr the book Delahaye : la belle carrosserie française by Jean-Paul Tissot. I have seen myself this car at Rétromobile 2005.
