Description

The Delahaye luxury 235 was built from 1951-54, only 84 were produced, today less than twelve left. The 235 was originally sold only in chassis form and received bodywork from various coachbuilders, mainly Henri Chapron, but also from Figoni, Saoutchik, Antem, and others. From 1953, bodywork was built in house. Most noticeable was the new modern pontoon style bodywork, with the full width front designed by chief designer Philippe Charbonneaux (designer of the current vehicle in this picture). The 235 appeared too late to have much effect on Delahaye's fortunes, still relying on 1930s technology in spite of its stylish and modern appearance, but the weak economy and steep taxation on large engined cars in post-war France also conspired to finish this fine old manufacturer. Engine; 152hp 3557cc 6 cyl from the 135MS
