What's that you say? Car of the week has been a Delahaye? Not that I recall, so here's one that's rather interesting:
The bright blue vintage sports car sputtered to life and spewed smoke as it roared down a Monterey back street before stalling at a red light.
Tapping the temperature gauge nervously and struggling with the grinding gearbox, the driver shouted, "It actually runs pretty well — for an 80-year-old race car!"
The following day, parked among shinier and more coveted historic automobiles on the 18th green at Pebble Beach for the annual Concours d'Elegance, the Delahaye didn't turn many heads.
But eight decades ago, it was a champion and arguably the most important car in the racing world.

Two brain cells left.. rubbing together for warmth
Do yourselves a service, and try to find a video of the Silver Arrows on you tube.. there's one or two of them on a mountain rally. The superchargers were in front of the carburetors on these cars. They sound insane.
