Delahaye 135 MS Cabriolet - 1950 by Perico001 Coachwork by Henri Chapron

One of France’s most profilic coachbuilders, Henri Chapron took delivery of this Delahaye 135 in chassis form on 8 August 1950. When the doors of the 1950 Paris Salon opened on 4 October, this stunning cabriolet was resplendent on the Delahaye stand : it was the prototype of Chapron’s last body for the 135, the new 235 model would succeed it the following year. In December 1950, this car was delivered to an industrialist based in Phalempin, in the Nord département.

Matra-Simca MS 660 - 1971 by Perico001 Chassis n° 03

The MS 660 is the first car built around a frame with an aluminium body based on the boiler making aircraft industry. Another flexible rubber frame, which serves as a gasoline tank (compulsory from the 1970 season) is placed in the first model.
Three MS 660 were built and engaged in the ‘24 Hrs du Mans’ (1970, 1971 & 1972).
The model presented here participated in the 1972 release (Jabouille-Hobbs abandoned in the 24th hour because of the gearbox damage).
