In 1901, the Société des Automobiles Delahaye constructed a factory in Paris, where they continued to manufacture automobiles and trucks. In 1908, they began producing four cylinder engines, in sizes of 1.5 and 2.1 liters, as well as a 2.6 liter V6. As well, they licensed their designs to manufacturers in the United States and Germany.

Delahayes of this period are recognized to be some of the most beautiful automobiles ever built. Some of the great coachbuilders who provided bodies for Delahayes include Figoni et Falaschi, Chapron, and Letourneur et Marchand. Henri Chapron was a famous French coachbuilder established in Levallois-Perret. ...


As was customary for automobile manufacturers in this period, Delahaye also tried its hand in racing in the middle of the 1930s after the American heiress Lucy O'Reilly Schell approached the company with an offer to pay the development costs to build cars to her specifications for rally racing. In 1937, René Le Bègue and Julio Quinlin won the Monte Carlo Rally driving a Delahaye. This was the time when the German Nazi party, in an attempt to establish the dominance of their party, nation, and philosophy, nationalized the Mercedes-Benz and Auto Union racing teams and spared no expense to create some of the most advanced competition cars ever, whose raw speed was to be unequaled for the next 50 years. Against this juggernaut, Delahaye brought out the model 145, the so called 'Million Franc Delahaye' after its victory in the Million Franc Race, which was driven by René Dreyfus to victory at Pau in 1938; doubly humiliating the Nazis by having a Jewish driver in a French car beat their vaunted, state of the art, Mercedes-Benz Silver Arrows. This competition victory combined with French patriotism to create a wave of demand for Dalahaye cars, up until the German occupation of France during World War II.

In early 1940, over 100 cars of the 134, 175, and 168 (Renault body) types were built for the French government. Private sales effectively ceased around June, but small numbers of cars (types unknown) continued to be built for the occupying forces until at least 1942. Year 1940 (MCMXL) was a leap year starting on Monday (link will display the full 1940 calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...


After the war, in late 1945, production of the 135 was resumed, and the 4.5 liter model 175 was introduced in 1948. Sales slowed, however, and the last new model, a 3.5 liter Jeep-like vehicle, was released in 1951. In 1954, Delahaye was taken over by Hotchkiss, who shut down automobile production and, after producing trucks with the Hotchkiss-Delahaye nameplate for a few more months, dropped the Delahaye name and closed this chapter of automotive history.

Delahaye Index (303 words)
Emile Delahaye departed his company in 1900, just one year before a factory was constructed in Paris.
Delahaye was taken over by Hotchkiss in 1954 and car production ceased as lorry production continued under the name Hotchkiss-Delahaye.
After several months the Delahaye name was dropped and history closed on one of the world's most intriguing vehicle makers.
Document sans titre (1051 words)
The quality and results of his cars fully designed by Delahaye (even the engine, which was rare enough at this time) convinced numerous and often prestigious customers … the Duchess of Uzès for instance, and in 1897, Emile Delahaye realised that his firm was not big enough to meet the demand of customers.
Until 1933, the Delahaye Cars Company (Société des Automobiles Delahaye) produced cars which were reputed for their solidity and stamina but also lorries, engines for industrial purposes and competitive motorboats (several speed world records with boats).
Delahaye could not escape the difficulties that put an end to the French luxury cars makers in the fifties.
