1913 Delaunay Belleville H.C.4

Delaunay Belleville H.C.4,  Paris-Rambouillet, 2016
More pictures of the Paris-Rambouillet coming soon on Rouenlesafx.blogspot.com.

Delaunay Belleville, Saint Denis, France.  This car marque was founded in 1903 and quickly became one of the most prestigious manufacturers in France.  A number of foreign royal families purchased their cars prior to the First World War. As with all luxury manufacturers of the time, they provided the chassis and engine to a coach builder.  The body above in the picture is by Rothschild.  The image faded in the thirties and the marque disappeared in the late forties.  The car pictured above has a 4 cylinder 4.4 litre engine and has only recently been restored and put on the road again I believe.
