1949 Delahaye 175 Coupe de Ville by Saoutchik

Built for the 1949 Paris Motor Show, this Delahaye 175 must be one of Saoutchik's most exuberant creations. The details of this design are what stand out with the removable roof panel and the 14-karat gold fixtures in the interior as some of the car's prominent features. Following its motor show duties, the unique Delahaye was sold to the United States where it has been part of some of the country's most prominent collections like the Harrah and the Nethercutt. Now owned by the Blackhawk Museum, the spectacular machine is seen here during the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where it was part of a special Saoutchik class.
