One of my favorite cars in the world is a 1936 Delage D8-120S Cabriolet bodied by Chapron.  I also like the same car in its 1937 construction, also by Chapron, and he didn't disappoint in 1939.  I have yet to find a model of the '36 or the '37, but I did locate a '39, which was being offered for sale by a TDZ member.  I contacted HobbyDragon and 'she' arrived yesterday; the Mullin Automotive Museum 1939 Delage D8-120 Chapron Cabriolet from Minichamps, in her original case.  I have to say HobbyDragon's packing is superb and she arrived without a blemish, which is a rarity in my world, lately.  Kudos to you, HD and thank you.

@ed-davis  Thank you, Ed.  I'm pretty jazzed to have her and it is unlikely she will ever be removed from her case.  Too many very fragile parts for someone as periodically-inept as I have become.
