\"\"<\/a>A barn-find Delahaye has been consigned to the Worldwide Auburn Labor Day Auction, scheduled for September 2-4, 2011 at the Worldwide Auction Park in Auburn, Indiana.
\nRestorer and Chrysler enthusiast, Jeff Carter and his wife Lisa, on an ongoing hunt for early Chryslers, made the ultimate discovery in a Washington barn — a 1948 Delahaye 135M Chapron DHC. Awakened from a 35-year slumber, complete with vintage volcanic ash from the 1982 Mount St. Helen\u2019s eruption, the Delahaye began life as a Paris show car bearing coachwork by master craftsman Henri Chapron. It retains complete originality, with just a handful of owners from new, and remarkably still runs and drives. It will be offered without reserve at the Worldwide Auburn sale, going home to the highest bidder on the evening of Saturday, September 3, 2011.
\nSince its discovery earlier this year, the car\u2019s history has been extensively researched. Henri Chapron\u2019s daughter, Noelle, has revealed original factory records indicating that it was displayed at the Salon d\u2019Automobile in Paris in 1949 on the Chapron stand, confirmed again by the founding President of Club Delahaye, himself a Delahaye salesman after World War II. Subsequently sold to a French gentleman living in Meknes, Morocco, the car still bears its original Moroccan license plate. In 1958, an American Air Force pilot traded his 1955 Lincoln Convertible for the Delahaye in Morocco, later shipping it to New Orleans, and then driving it through California up to Spokane, WA, before eventually trading it in to Empire Lincoln Mercury for a brand new 1964 Lincoln convertible. The next owner was a jeweler who kept it for a few years and then traded it to Don Rohrer\u2019s Select Cars for a 1959 Cadillac Coupe. In 1966, the car was sold to the owner of the farm in whose barn it was discovered in 2011, having been moved there in 1976 with just 61,397 miles showing on the odometer.
\n\u201cThis is a remarkable barn find that has not only survived with completely original panels, chassis, paint and interior, but also runs and drives,\u201d said Rod Egan, Worldwide Auctioneers’ Principal & Chief Auctioneer. \u201cWhether it\u2019s fortunate new owner chooses to simply maintain the mechanicals and enjoy it untouched, or completely restore it, this wonderful motorcar is sure to be much sought after by the serious collector.\u201d
\nThe Auburn Auction is scheduled for September 2-4, 2011, at the Worldwide Auction Park in Auburn, Indiana. The More Great Cars segment of the sale runs from September 2nd- 4th from 10am daily, with Saturday evening\u2019s Main Event on September 3rd at 6pm.
