1936 Delage D6-70 Sp\u00e9ciale<\/h1>\n

This pretty Delage is one of the first dual-purpose grand tourers and easily the most beautiful cars that has raced and won at LeMans. It was built during Delage’s transition year, back when they were being saved and swallowed up by Delahaye. As such, this car benefits from both company’s engineering and expertise.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fortunately, after the take over, Delahaye realized the potential of sports car racing and Delage’s skill to engineer winning cars. The managing committee planned to make a single chassis with a modified cylinder head for Louis Del\u00e2ge. He used Delahaye chassis 50688 and modified it to sufficiently call it his own. This included a short-stroke version of the Arthur-L\u00e9on Michelat’s 3.6 engine in the Delahaye 135CS chassis.<\/p>\n

Delage decided his racecar would be bodied by Figoni et Falaschi who had already produced bodies for a stable of LeMans winners and endurance racers. Figoni was known for his lightweight, seemingly-aerodynamic bodies and the one he made for 50688 was his most impressive to date. It was compact, purposeful and one of the first teardrops in the world.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the debut of Delage’s car was delayed after the 1936 edition of LeMans was cancelled due to labor strikes. Instead, the car became a showpiece for Delage and it impressed crowds on the European Concours d’Elegance circuit. It won at its first show in Deauville with Mme Richer-Delavau. However, not before long, 50688 was used for its intended purpose at local hill climbs and sprint races.<\/p>\n

In 1937, this Delage finally got its chance to race LeMans when sold to the capable hands of Louis G\u00e9rard. He and his cousin Jacques de Valence finished the race in fourth and won their class at an average speed of 121.1 kph. This respectable finish was overshadowed by big Bugatti that was seven laps ahead and took overall victory. It was contested as a private entry but likely had some support from Louis Del\u00e2ge and Walter Watney.<\/p>\n

After LeMans, 50688 was separated with its body and Delage prepared an open two seat body for the chassis. In this configuration Gerard’s Delage successfully took part in the 1938 sports season and won the RAC’s Tourist Trophy.<\/p>\n

The contemporary history of 50688 is unknown. Currently Roland d’Ieteren is fielding and showing a car which is identical to 50688 in its original configuration. This car has been shown many times at events like Retromobile and it raced at the 2006 LeMans Classic.<\/p>\n

While this small racer didn’t save Delage’s independence, its influential styling was a huge contribution. After the LeMans victory, Figoni et Falaschi were encouraged further develop their teardrop design. They became famous for several more signature Teardrops and even built one very special car Talbot-Lago for the 1939 Lemans.<\/p>\n

We are like kids in a candy store, except the candy is made of metal, goes vroom-vroom, and occasionally bankrupts us faster than a sugar rush at a candy store sale! We spend hours debating the merits of turbochargers versus superchargers, and our weekends are a never-ending quest for the perfect polish and wax combo. We can identify every make and model by the sound of a revving engine, and our idea of a romantic evening is a candlelit dinner with our cars in the garage.","sameAs":["http:\/\/www.supercars.net","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Supercars.net\/","https:\/\/instagram.com\/super.cars.fans","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/supercars_net"],"url":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/author\/supercars\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188963","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188963"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188963\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/233033"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188963"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188963"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188963"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
