What a magnificent machine! That's a gorgeous interior. It almost looks like a restomod.

French styling at its best. My Delâge models are all 1/43.

great selection John. I have the Automodello that Tony has featured. So interesting to read of background to one of my favorite models. 

These are the 2 cars where it is suggested "Keen viewers will spot similarities in the roofline and fenders to those of the Pourtout-designed Peugeot Darl’Mat and Bentley 4-1⁄2 Litre “Embiricos” coupe."
