caption_attribution_description: English: A 1939 Delage D8-120 Grand Luxe Cabriolet at the 2002 Greenwich Concours d'Elegance. Chassis 51980 (with matching engine) was rebodied with this teardrop convertible bodywork by Chapron in 1946.
context_page_description: The Delage D8 was an eight-cylinder luxury car produced by Delage between 1929 and 1940.
  The 4061 cc engine of the original D8 placed it in the 23CV car tax band which, for many contemporaries, would also have defined its position high up in the market hierarchy.
  Delage took a traditional view of its role as a car producer, providing cars in bare chassis form to be bodied and fitted out by prestigious bespoke builders such as Letourneur et Marchand and Chapron operating in the Paris area. The D8 therefore appeared, throughout its life, in a wide variety of elegant shapes.
