Parisian Peugeot dealer Émile Darl'mat envisioned a light weight streamlined Peugeot 302 to race at Le Mans. This aluminum bodied 1937 302 Darl'mat was was a collaboration between designer Georges Paulin and coach builder Marcel Portout. The Darl'mat lineup featured 3 models: a coupe, roadster and convertible. Production years were 1934 to 1939 with a total of 103 built. The chassis was shortened and a race prepped twin carburetor 2 liter 4 cylinder from the 402 model was used for their "special sport" racers . All 3 models were raced at Le Mans in 1937 and 1938. In 1937, 3 entries finished in the top ten. In 1938, they finished 1st, 5th and 7th. This Norev model is a non-race pure 302. I love that neon green swirly accent.

Very cool looking...something different. The faux side ports put Buick to shame! Lol.
