This V12 1939 Delahaye 165 Cabriolet was one of only 6 built and this particular model was the first and debuted at the French exposition at the 1939 New York World's Fair as part of the "Dawn of a New Day" display.... without the V12 which hadn't been completed yet. With its sleek Art Deco streamline design by coachbuilders Figoni & Falaschi it still enthralls enthusiasts at the Mullens Collection Museum. This my favorite of all our clubs LEs. Model by Automodello.
