DELAUNEY BELLEVILLE / ST. DENIS / FRANCE ( 1904 -1950 )
DELAUNEY ( 1904 to 1950) were known for smoothness and silence at a time when these were rare commodities.
The cars were also very individual in their looks, and their round
bonnet and radiator were a reference to the steam boiler origins of the
company.
The last model in serious production was the R16, basically a hastily
revamped Mercedes-Benz 230 available from 1936 to 1939 and again for
five years after 1945.
Usually there was only a script on the DELAUNAY radiator.
Here I present you the only enameled radiator emblem ever made.
It was used after WWII when DELAUNAY tried in vain to restart.
