Since the very first Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance back in 1950, just 74 cars have taken home the coveted Best of Show award. One of the victors is this exquisite 1937 Delage D8-120 S Aerodynamic Coupe. For Best in Show winners to come on the open market is almost unheard of, but this streamline-bodied coupe will be one of the stars at Sotheby’s auction to be held at the Monterey Conference Center in Northern California from August 13-15. According to the Sotheby’s research team, Louis Delâge had planned to showcase the car at the 1937 Paris Salon, but by the time the car was finished, applications had closed. Undaunted, Delâge simply drove it to the show’s Grand Palais venue and parked it outside the entrance for all to behold. The car would go on to be Louis Delâge’s daily vehicle.
