    Delahaye 235 built by "Faget-Varnet"!

    Hey coachbuilding fans!

    I have one big question for all of You!

    Here's the Delahaye 235 built by still unknown & unidentified coachbuilder. I would like to get any information about who and when built this (possibly a one-off) Delahaye. The answers should be reasoned.

    Thank You all very much in advance. All serious comments are highly appreciated!

    It almost looks too modern to be a period coachwork.
    If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.

    It was produced until the 50's. This car looks like it could have been designed in the 50's.

    Just look at that bumper, it's just all wrong.

    They look like the ones from the Jag Mk I, which is from the 50's.

    the occasion where you pictures were shot was the 2008 St. Cloud Concours d'Elegance, and knowing that supercars.net would not provide the correct information , I just checked on the St. Cloud site and found it...
