A re-run. Some Sunday Sophistication...

Wow! Great model. Thanks for the photo's. I like both colors. In the black version the grill looks more seperated from the rest of the car. The light metallic version looks more as a whole. But wouldn't mind to have them both in my garage !

I know I am a minority here, but I am not as impressed as you guys. I have Ixo, Automodello and Heco is on the way. It's probably my most favorite Delage. The 1:1 image is mine and taken with tele lens to reduce distortion.

From an old post:

"Comparison: 1:1; IXO; Spark; Heco; Automodello

Don't have Spark's and Heco's models to take the pictures from the right angle. Now I realize, I should've used dark background. Unfortunately I don't see a perfect one ... everyone has different issues ... Heco has the best roof-lines, Spark has the best fenders, the finish of the Automodello is absolutely awesome but I am not happy with its shapes (the body is too thin, hood is too long, roof is too flat, the lower end line of the side windows doesn't flow as graciously), IXO as expected is probably the worst model but a great value ... perhaps Spark is the best value ... what do you guys think?"

Terrific comparisons Chav! At cars shows I have not seen but one Delage and it was not the Pourtout. I saw a few at the Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach, but, again, not the Pourtout. So I'll bow to your expertise on roof lines, faithful body shapes and so on. But as a design, the Delage is gorgeous. As a model I am still biased towards my beloved 'Mint' car models with opening features, detail-rich in wiring, separately formed parts, not seen in static models. Ahhh, for the old days, huh?   

Thanks Chav, a very interesting comparison. A agree that the Spark based on your images does look the best rendition. That said, I would be happy to add any of these models to my collection.

excellent comparison thanks Chav. I agree with the Spark, with the IXO next. I cant really spot any 'concerning' body differences, but the Automodello does appear to have placed the door handle too high compared to the 1:1
