This is a 1946 Delahaye 135 MS Coupe with Coachwork by Chapron. It has a lucite steering wheel and knobs which was a unique material for a post war 2 car. It won best car when it was displayed at the 1948 Paris auo salon. The car is now in the Peter Mullin museum in California

Sorry Sorry. It is a 1951 Delahaye Type 235 Cabriolet With Coachwork By famous French Coachbuilder Saoutchik. Only 84 Cars were produced. Jacques Saoutchik displayed this car on his stand at the 1951 Paris Auto Salon. This car I think is Chassis # 818005 it carries the 1st of 4 custom bodies by saoutchik. Very interesting car in that it has a combination of aluminum and steel and actually gives the car balance. The car currently is in the Peter Mullin Muesuem in California

That's the right one, yes.
So I've awarded you your 20th point, which makes you an Expert - well done!
Of course that means you can't take part in rookie puzzles any more, but it also means you may post your own puzzles now, which I hope we can look forward to.
