Delahaye 135 is a beautifully designed car that is one of the most prestigious of Delahaye designs. The antique beauty reflects the French lineage of design cues and style. It is aerodynamically designed and complemented by distinct features like all-enclosed fenders, fully hidden front lights, a belt line breaking up the side skirts, and an impressive grille. A belt line that breaks the side skirts runs along the fenders and delivers a bulbous look that reduces the visual appeal of the car. Even then, it is an antique beauty on wheels that is worth a glance in the vintage car shows or outside the palaces of Maharajas.

The car is extremely unique in the interior with plush ostrich skin upholstery. Under the hood, it is equipped with 3,557 cc six-cylinder engine that delivers 95 bhp at 3,200 rpm.

The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is an elegantly designed sports coupe that was in production between 1955 and 1974. The car emerged as a result of the collaborative efforts of Volkswagen and German coach builder Karmann. The name of the car was kept on the name of Karmann who successfully created a soft top convertible. The car was built on the platform of humble Beetle that is still delivering a sense of pride to the car manufacturer due to its elegant styling, excellent interior, and outstanding performance.

After its introduction in 1955, the car had undergone various significant improvements to suit the needs of the buyers during that period. In 1974, the last Volkswagen Karmann Ghia was delivered to the car market with over 387,975 units sold. Though the car is no more in production today it still looks breathtaking as many of the modern cars.

Fiat Topoline commonly known as the Fiat 500 started the trend of small cars in the industry. It is a perfect reflection of the Italian design cues and styling. Produced in Italy between 1936 and 1955, the Topolino has been the most affectionate car at that time.

The name of the car was taken from an Italian term ‘Topolino’ that means ‘Mickey Mouse’ or ‘Little Mouse’. In 1937, three models of the car were produced and thereafter this affectionate little mouse experienced continuous modifications in terms of minor mechanical and cosmetic changes. The car was driven by a 569 cc four-cylinder, side valve, water-cooled engine mounted in front of the front axle.

This small little car was designed by a coachwork engineer Rudolfo Schaffer and engineered by the famous aero-nautical engineer Dante Giocosa. Today, the updated and modern version of the Fiat 500 is plying on Indian roads but still the old 500 has its own distinctive beauty and elegance that makes an imposing presence.
