This 2-door Delahaye Convertible is a sleekly styled example of art deco automotive design by French auto designer Jean François. Vehicles today classified as Art Deco cars were often two-door coupes and roadsters with long hoods and small, rounded-off trunks. They featured long, swooping fenders over the wheels, round headlights and lots of chrome.
 
They are characterized by rich colors, bold geometry, and decadent detail work. Having reached the height of its popularity in the 1920s, '30s, and '40s, the style brings in glamour, luxury, and order with symmetrical designs in exuberant shapes.
