Delahaye?

[Djetset]

Delahaye?

Yes. Now Locked to you for its model name.

[Carnut]

Thanks.
Can't find any production model with that front at all.
Was it one of the Delta prototypes for the VLR?

That's because it's not a production model, and not a VLR prototype. The Lock remains.

[Carnut]

Thanks.
It's the Cob prototype from 1953, intended to replace the VLR.
Unfortunately it proved uncompetitive and led to Delahaye passing over their contract and design to Hotchkiss.

Here's a better picture of it:

Yes, that's the one. Another point to you.
