Chassis:
Originally built as one of the Type 145 racing cars, chassis 48772 was raced by Ecurie Bleu with little success in 1938 and 1939. The potent machine was acquired by Chapron, who, on behalf of a customer, fitted it with a spectacular coupe body. Interrupted by the War, the work was not completed until 1947. Briefly owned by a French enthusiast, it quickly made its way across the Atlantic. Between 1972 and 2004, the V12-engined Delahaye was owned by Count Hubertus von Donhoff. Since 2004, it is part of the Mullin Collection and today is on permanent display in the Mullin Automotive Museum.
