+ Paper 57 Italian accent At the dawn of the 1950s, artisanal bodywork shone with its last glory. While French coachbuilders are experiencing increasingly worrying difficulties, their Italian colleagues are booming. Moreover, to dress the sportiest of Delahaye 175 chassis, a French driver called on an Italian coachbuilder. The choice turned out to be wise as the handsome blue coach won the Monte-Carlo Rally in 1951.

Accent Italien
À l’orée des années 1950, la carrosserie artisanale brille de ses derniers feux. Tandis que les carrossiers français connaissent des difficultés de plus en plus préoccupantes, leurs confrères italiens sont en plein essor. D’ailleurs, pour habiller les plus sportifs des châssis Delahaye 175, un pilote français fait appel à un carrossier italien. Le choix s’est avéré judicieux puisque le beau coach bleu a remporté le Rallye de Monte-Carlo en 1951.
