The Type 135 model Delahaye was the first car produced after the merger in 1935 of Delage and Delahaye, enjoying tremendous success in competition, from Montlhéry to Le Mans. In 1936, the Model 135 M, or Competition version, joined the line-up with a six-cylinder 3,557-cc engine that had a larger bore and triple carburetors. In 135 MS form, with its larger exhaust valves, the Delahaye could reach 110 mph.
