The first car made by Delahaye was presented in 1895. His cars usually had a rear-mounted horizontal two-cylinder engine with electric ignition and the primary drive was by belts and the final drive by side chains. Because of his health, Delahaye sold his business to Leon Desmarais and Georges Morane around 1898. During this year, they moved the factory from Tours to Paris. The firm was reknown for the quality of its cars. In the early 1930's, it went into racing cars market. By 1954, the Delahaye name had disappeared. - Area Notes
