Too many puzzlers from Germany on board. No chance to get the (relatively) easy ones! ;D

According to my source it is a Delahaye 135 MS. It was originally built (chassis number 46810) as a „Spécial de Course“ racecar for Lucy and Laury Schell who started at Le Mans in 1936. The Hebmüller body was built in 1952 for a Monsieur Grivilet.

The Hebmüller book says it's apparently a 135 M, but they're not absolutely sure about it. I'll add a back view and interior shots + specifications soon.

I know the Hebmüller book.  ;)
The French Club Delahaye has collected a few pictures that show the car in several stages of its life, the last ones showing the car when it was for sale in 2008:

Sorry, what I meant was that I know that it is called a 135M in the Hebmüller book, but I tend to trust the Club Delahaye a little bit more in this particular matter.

I agree on that.

I think it wasn't the best idea to change the color of the car to pale grey. The rather strange proportions of that vehicle appear now even more unbalanced.

Thanks for posting the extra info and pictures gents!

I agree that is doesn't look so good in the pale colour but it was never much of a looker anyway... I'm happy that it still survives in this configuration though (or did, a lot can happen in 3 years)

I can see the resemblance, but that's not it.

Just the way the image was cropped. Here's the missing front corner:
