Really modern cars even the elite ones will never have anything on the classics. All that individual class and beauty has really been sadly lost in today’s designs.
Nostalgia definitely shades our perceptions. There are some outstanding designs like the original Audi TT, the Lotus Elise, etc. On the road right now id be pressed to think of a great design but in 20 years people will appreciate it. Outside the hypercar territory it takes a step back to appreciate design. Like PT cruisers were an absolute bunch of shit boxes, but theyll get more credit than the newest porsche. Reliable is forgotten. Literally taking things for granted.
@@Awesnap My nostalgia for older cars is more to do with my 40 plus years building cars and bikes and practicability. With the Wuh@n Flu affecting everything including the car industry ie the shortage of chips and cars today being something that your average backyard mechanic shouldn’t ever even try to repair it’s only a matter of time before the whole system falls down. With maturity you’ll learn there’s far more than wasting mega bucks on a car and with car companies being the way they are good luck getting any sort of service when things go pear shaped when it comes to most brands nowadays. Living here in Australia if you want a new car based on the care that your dealer gives you Toyota, Subaru, Mazda, Hyundai, Kia and BMW are the way to go. Let’s be serious here for a moment how many people are going to waste money on a supercar or the like when you look at cost, the fact you could never really use it or the fact there are these things called speed limits? I love my cars and bikes but really what’s the point if you can’t use your pride and joy everyday or you shit yourself every time you drive it? And just so you know here in Australia the likes of Audis and Lotus or even Supercars are low volume sold cars and just so you know I own a pristine VF Holden SS Commodore Ute and a VZ Holden SS Commodore Ute as my knock around transport.
Be still, my heart. Every one of these vehicles could stand as its own art exhibit. Have to say that long, black number at ~2:49 really turns my key. Also, at ~4:49 another long, low number in black. And again at ~5:45 w/ the red and gold teardrop front clip. Just WOW!
These are the product of one individual who has spent his entire life in the automotive related arts and sciences. The quality of this level of design arts joined to as much or as little modern technology as the purchaser desires. Not many of even the most knowledgeable experts know that besides a life in the automotive arts, The principal in the USA/D Firm is ALSO the inventor and for many years the chief executive of one of America's premier elite auto events.
3:15 - the only Delahaye here which actually looks French. It's a model 235 MS. The rest have an international design (apart from one or two Americans of a totally different make), but that doesn't justify replacing the "GFA" in the Delahaye emblem with "USA".
Every one of these beauties look like they should be driven by Golden Age comic heroes or Hollywood movie stars. Real ones from 30's to 50's. Not posers of today.
Some of them are over the top, taking the design job just a little bit too far to even be just frivolous, but some of them are extremely beautiful. I haven't checked yet wether each model is as it left the Delahaye factory or whether it was "boosted" (a dangerous word in Corona times) by coach builders to meet specific demands by wealthy but not necessarily tasteful owners. Each of them is "impressive", but "impressive" doesn't necessarily mean "elegant". German WW 2 Tiger tanks too are "impressive", so are some of these gigantic John Deere mini factories on huge wheels. Elegance is something else. I'm not really 100 % if elegance really is that subjective as some people always claim....
There were some Cars from the 1950's that "LOOKED, VERY FAST !" Unfortunately, Most of Their features were "AUTOMATIC", and used-up ALL the Power... 😟🙄
Cost. Even back in the early 20th Century, these cars were more for the rich people. To get body panels that shape has to be done by hand, not machine. The labour costs alone would make the car unaffordable to the general public.
Are These "CARS", IMAGINED or ACTUAL (and if-so WHEN were They created ) ?? The Ones in the Photo with the Logo for example, could have been from the next BATMAN or MARVEL Movie ! Some times Transports have been compared to Animals: WHALES or "The Spruce Goose Aeroplane". They would leave Low-riders in the Dust ! If They could float on water ( or Hover ), they'd be similar to Cigar Boats...
@@raymondclark1785 The company was founded in Tours (France) in 1894, then taken over by Hotchkiss (USA) in 1954 and cancelled in the same year. so Raymond, NOT American.
Your are confused, Delahaye USA is a different company making high end hot rods and iterperations of French cars. Some of the work on their version of the Atlantic was done in NJ and they were asking $300k USD, not Euro's. Look at the photos those are not all original Delahayes
It's amazing all the nit pickers and negative types making comments here. This is why people get to hate classic car types. If there is a totally great classic, like a Hisso Or a Duesenberg and ONE part is not original, (never mind the 99%) that's ALL youll hear. Thats why people get to hate classic car effite types. The central fact is,, This is a major figure in the automotive world who, with a gifted staff,, have decided to bring back the greatness of classic French auto design, to bring that to renewed public notice AND offer a very valid product that any connoisseur can Purchase and drive away. This effort should be Soundly without reservation,, applauded.

Interesting about Delahaye: ua-cam.com/video/GF-rAvgTcx0/v-deo.html
@@Awesnap problem with the Elise is the original Teslas built on the platform and that gets more credit than Lotus
unbelievably outstanding designs even from today's POV....marvellous !
2.48 & 2.59 for me. All truly stunning designs and shapes. Must be a tonic to your sense of vision as they pass you in whatever direction.
Ahhh... the French! Their design and engineering are just a little different.
And absolutely fantastic in most cases.
Be still, my heart. Every one of these vehicles could stand as its own art exhibit. Have to say that long, black number at ~2:49 really turns my key. Also, at ~4:49 another long, low number in black. And again at ~5:45 w/ the red and gold teardrop front clip. Just WOW!
Art Deco car design must make a comeback!
What truly incredible automobiles! I love these.
The glory of French auto design!
It is really nice to see these cars, a refined and exclusive brand, congratulations 👏👍🎖️
Incredible works of motorised art !
Phantastic cars 👍👍👍👍🍸🍸🍸🌹❤❤❤!
absolutely breathtaking industrial art
Amazing looking cars! Way ahead of their time!
Beautiful curvy French classics. Didn't spot the Airflow but there were two Hispano Suizas'.
I always thought the 1961 IMPERIAL was over the top, flamboyant drama but wow those really would rock, Rock Hudson's dream car come true.
This is french car❤️
Just a fair warning one of the cars you showed was a Chrysler Airflow Street Rod, it’s an amazing build, but different from the rest.

now this is the difference between a car and an automobile
Probably the most beautiful car I have ever seen.
It s no American car , it s made in France !!!
🌹05:03 Oh là là!!! MAGNIFIQUE
Fantastic Styling😊
Beautiful cars!!!

These things look like "Foose" creations, not production cars!
Beautiful.
Amazing🚨 Oh my All of them...... .. .
Magnificent!😀 Designs far ahead of their time.
I'm speechless for once in my life.
Wow amazing cars ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can't remember much information about a certain vehicles, but They used two Rolls-Royce engines.
..."LOOKING FAST, STANDING STILL !!"
Every one of these beauties look like they should be driven by Golden Age comic heroes or Hollywood movie stars. Real ones from 30's to 50's. Not posers of today.
Delahay the best car builders ever.
Only for Gatsbyesque ultra moneyed folks.
Thanks for sharing.
perfect cars for them cartoon wolves in zootsuits ' haya doin shugah,,how bout a ride? vroomvroom,

where can I get a print/poster of this Delahaye?
They make cars like crafting a grand piano, unbelievable.
He took his insperation from the Buggatti Aerolithe
Really a wasted opportunity for learning, I knew about these cars at the beginning, and was taught nothing by the time I stopped vid at 1:03.
which Bugatti model is this that appears at 2:46?
There were some Cars from the 1950's that "LOOKED, VERY FAST !"
Unfortunately, Most of Their features were "AUTOMATIC", and used-up ALL the Power... 😟🙄
All of these cars fell through the time slipstream...1000 years ahead of their time....🙄 Well the aerodynamic shapes anyway
I know it's been attempted but why can't we build cars with style like we used to?
Cost. Even back in the early 20th Century, these cars were more for the rich people. To get body panels that shape has to be done by hand, not machine. The labour costs alone would make the car unaffordable to the general public.
Or even any sense of styling at all. I fear we have sacrificed everything at the alter of effeciency.
so basically bugatti atlantic
stuning
Do u offer kit cars that would fit on my Camry?
Magnificent Machines!

What "USA", Delahaye is French, not American!
It's a USA company making cars that look French
@@raymondclark1785 The company was founded in Tours (France) in 1894, then taken over by Hotchkiss (USA) in 1954 and
cancelled in the same year. so Raymond,
NOT American.
Your are confused, Delahaye USA is a different company making high end hot rods and iterperations of French cars. Some of the work on their version of the Atlantic was done in NJ and they were asking $300k USD, not Euro's. Look at the photos those are not all original Delahayes

Good thing too because they are beautiful models.

nice . aye !
this from an era when cars and people had class and panache
Pebble Beach ?
It's so unfortunate that styling has pretty much gone by the wayside.
Styling costs money - automakers want to sell us toasters on wheels...
no info on cars
Not all those were french
Ice black
DC, who want to give you insurance for a reasonable price?
That would be Maddeningly Costly price if one had that kind of money
CERO NON PASSA INOSSERVATA
Remake
Just think folks. Maybe if we go electric we can start having good looking cars again. You can put almost any body you want on an electric platform.
ELECTRIC....🤮🤮🤮🤮
the real gain will be the return of racetracks near your house. There isn't any loud noise from these EV cars!
