  • 1935 Delahaye 135 S. French automobile pioneer Emile Delahaye began his career as an engineer, and began experimenting with steam and internal combustion engines relatively late in life. It wasn't until he reached the age of 51 that he displayed his first automobile at the first ever Paris Motor Show.

    Hey Jay, I think the reason why the French put clocks in they're cars was so the driver could see his lap times, or if the speedometer broke, they could tell how fast they were traveling. You have a beautiful collection sir, thank you for sharing it with the world.

  • @RamblinAround
    @RamblinAround Před 11 lety +11

    Jay, your car knowledge is incredible. So are your cars. I love learning from you. Thankfully, you may have some serious coin but you’re not a snob. Keep being Jay. We love ya! I am infatuated with that dark blue delahaye next to this one.

    You are far more dedicated than I ever would be. That is a very tough ride to get in and out of. Something I would do once to say I did it and that would be the end of it I would resell it. I lack the passion and the money. It is a very interesting machine Jay you could open a museum in the middle of nowhere and people would go to it. I would place it on route 66 in an aircraft hanger.

    Jay... many thanks from some of us who simply enjoy your offerings on CZcams as "some of us" will never own, let alone
    drive the wonders in your collection. "Leon's Garage" is neatly presented as you offer your ideas, knowledge and love of
    cars aimed at we viewers! Technical yet you try to keep it easy to understand. Keep it up.. Paul

    I have been enamoured of Delahaye's since reading my late father's copy of Ralph Stein's 'The Great Cars' when a child...the same time I also fell in love with the Bugatti 35, and the great Alfa's (illustrious ancestors of my father's white 1972 Alfa Romeo Berlina 2000). This is awesome, thanks Jay !

    Fantastic car Jay. One of my all time favorite cars of that period. Although I know I will never own one in my life, I have always dreamed of owning a Delahaye 135. Maybe i'll get to drive one once. Doubtful, but i'll keep dreaming. Thanks for the episode. Love seeing the car working and love the fact that after 80+ years, it's still in as new condition.

    A car that took the old “to win, first you must finish” saying to heart. A less exciting, but more affordable way to win. Still, a beautiful car IMO. And from the era that produced all those beautiful GP lithograph art.

    back in the early 80s I found a Delahaye on a used car lot in Monterey California. I didn't know what the heck it was. Same lot had a 1955 packard that was stock except for belts and hoses were replaced, had only 28 K miles and the dealer that sold the packard was still in business selling fords. weird car lot, also had a Rolls, a Pantera, and other oddball cars.
