Veteran "Delahaye" automobile radiator grille - car rally, France.

---

Emile Delahaye was born in 1843 at Tours in the Loire valley. He qualified as a mechanical engineer and worked for industrial enterprises in France and Belgium. Returning to Tours aged thirty he became a partner in a foundry that made machinery for the brick and ceramic industries. Delahaye bought the enterprise in 1879 and soon the firm expanded into making stationary petrol engines. The first Delahaye car was completed in 1895 and shown in the automobile section of the Salon du Cycle in Paris, making Delahaye amongst the first of the French provincial motorcar makers.
