Concours of elegance at Cannes in 1939, Delahaye 135 MS cabriolet by Brandone
Brandone, probably the most talented coachbuilder from South of France, for this car, was definitely inspired by Figoni & Falaschi. Look at the front bumper with the two parallel blades, the elegant line that starts at the top of the radiator and goes to the running board. A pretty nice cabriolet which won an award at the concours.
The dolce vita on the French Riviera, still for a short period...
Who could have imagine that 6 month after this pictures has been taken, the war is declared and in less than one year, the German army will occupy half of France in few weeks... One of the worst periods for Europe will begin and will last for four years.
