I am unsure of the coahcbuilder. My source refers to this body being offered by the manufacturer in a way that implies no outside coachbuilder involvement, but I doubt that was the case. Either way, I am just looking for the manufacturer's name and the years/models for which this body was available.

Yes! Locked for you to, at the least, identify the models for which this body was available.

:D

Yes, this is a coupe body that was available on the Delfosse CD6 and CD7 in 1925. I think that probably no more than two or three cars were ever made with this body.

I have to say that identifying the car as a Delfosse based on so little information was an impressive feat. :bow: :applause:
