Time to start, middle or end your day (depending on longitude) with a Delahaye.
Meet the 134, made from 1933 to 1940 with a brief reappearance after the unpleasantness of WW2.
The LHD interior of at least one example is a surprise as Delahayes were typically RHD until the 1950s. Another slightly unusual feature is a manual gearbox, as they often had the Cotal electromagnetic semi-automatic.

This makes me wonder a bit what the last “ordinary” car to feature a tilting/vented windscreen was. Certainly it’s a thing that became impossible with large and curved windscreens.
I also notice that those rear lamps, if not Ford Model A DuoLamp units, are at the least copied from them.

Might not be original. They have orange indicators which I don’t think were a thing at the time. The front indicators aren’t original either.
