Delage D12
The French luxury automobile company was founded in 1905 by Louis Delage and started its production of cars by a single cylinder engine car and then gradually moved to four and six cylinder cars. Delage automobiles bagged victories in several racing competitions and made a name for itself. The company was taken over by Delahaye in 1935 but maintained its original heritage. Depressed financial conditions after the WW2 and the government taxes on engine above 2000cc forced the Delage automobiles to cease its production. Nowadays, finely maintained Delage classic cars costs around millions of dollars.
