1937 Delage D8-120 Aérosport Coupe Series 2
The restoration of the 1937 Delage D9-120 Aérosport Coupe Series 2 was completed in 2024. This is the culmination of over ten years of research and a meticulous historically-informed restoration. All of the seven other surviving Aérosports were personally inspected and studied. Previously unknown original historical information and documentation of the original construction of these cars from 1936-1939 was discovered and utilized to make this the most accurate extant example of an Aerosport today.
1943 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 Super Sport Pinin Farina Cabriolet
Alfa Romeo made 28 cars during WWII. Six of them were made for high officers of the German Army. This car, with a custom body by Pinin Farina, was made for Wolfram Von Richthofen, a Field Marshal of the Luftwaffe, and is the only known survivor of those six. After the war, the car competed in the 1948 Mille Miglia, finishing 3rd in class. Cooper Technica is currently restoring this car.
1948 Delahaye 135M Saoutchik Cabriolet
This Delahaye 135M, a touring Cabriolet, was built by one of the great coachbuilders, Jacques Saoutchik, in May 1948. The Delahaye features an unusual three-position Landau folding top, allowing a middle position (only the rear seats covered), and rear-hinged 'suicide' doors that incorporate the sweeping fender line. Cooper Technica is just beginning a ground-up restoration of this fine automobile.
1942 Alfa Romeo 6C2500 Super Sport with original Cabriolet coachwork by Pinin Farina completed in 1946.
A young designer at Pinin Farina, Fedele Bianco, designed this innovative body integrating the fenders into a clean modern look for a wealthy industrialist, Arturo Fumagalli of Tirano, Italy. This car, along with the Cisitalia built by Pinin Farina at the same time, was very influential on post-war car design. Cooper Technica is in the process of a complete restoration of this car.
1937 Delage D8-120 Aérosport Coupe Series 1
Noted auto historian Dennis Adler rated the Delage Aérosport one of the top ten cars of the century in "The Art of the Automobile" 2000. Delage introduced these streamlined elegant touring cars to great acclaim at the Paris Salon in 1936. Only 12 Aérosports were made until production was halted by the war in 1939.
This car, completed in August 1937, was the sixth car built and is the last of the Series 1 design.
