context_page_description: The Delage D6 was a six-cylinder luxury car produced by the manufacturer between 1930 and 1940 and again, after the war, between 1946 and 1953. For much of this time it was the company’s principal or, from 1946, only model.
  The 3045 cc engine of the original D6 placed it in the 17CV car tax band which, for many contemporaries, would also have defined its position in the market hierarchy.
  During its long production run the car underwent a succession of changes, many of which involved enlargement or modification of the six-cylinder engine. During the 1930s there were, for some of the time, two or three different engines sizes offered. Principal changes and differences in engine sizes were marked by changes and differences as to the suffix at the end of the car’s name, generally reflecting differences in fiscal or actual horsepower. For some purposes it can be helpful to think of the D6 as a succession of closely related individual models, but the basic architecture of the chassis and engine did not differ radically between the different versions.
context_section_description: A complementary model, the D6-11, was presented at the 26th Paris Motor Show in October 1932, although production only got under way the following Spring.    The D6-11 was a more economical version of the original DE6.   The “-11” suffix referred to the fiscal horsepower which was a function of the cylinder diameters and determined the level of annual car tax to be paid by owners in France.   The 2001 cc 6-cylinder engine came with a listed maximum power output of 55 hp (41 kW) at 4,000 rpm.   There was also an “S” version of the D6-11 for which 60 hp (45 kW) at 4,500 rpm was claimed.
  The manufacturers' price list at the motor show in October 1933 listed ten different "standard" body types offered for the car.   What they had in common was that the prices were high for a car in the 11CV car tax band/class.   In bare chassis form the 6-11 was priced at 31,600 francs for a "normal" standard length chassis and 32,600 francs for a long version.   There was also a price of 33,600 francs for a "normal" length sports chassis.   The wheelbase lengths in question were 3,060 mm (120 in) (normal) and 3,260 mm (128 in) (long).
  The last D6-11 was produced in 1934.   Its direct replacement, the D60-12, entered production only in 1936
