Delaunay-Belleville

Delaunay-Belleville
DELAUNAY-BELLEVILLE S6/U6

4-seater coupé, saloon, 7-seater saloon.

Unromantic decadence of a once-great name: the round radiator has given way to a rounded-vee reminiscent of a mid-twenties Delahaye. At least these cars (UK-available to '31) had the firm's own seven-bearing motors with dual ignition, plus wet-plate clutches, four-speed 'boxes, Dewandre servo brakes, and centre-lock wire wheels. Renault look creeps in from '33, and worse things were to follow.
