1938 Delahaye 135M Roadster
My thirteenth installment on the NC Art Museum’s Rolling Sculpture show.
This might be my favorite car in the show, maybe. Designed by Joseph Figoni and Ovidio Falaschi, 11 of these Type 135 were built, all with subtle differences. Seven survive. The Delahaye was perhaps the penultimate blend of automotive Art Deco and Paris fashion.
