Delahayes of this period are recognized to be some of the most beautiful automobiles ever built. Some of the great coachbuilders who provided bodies for Delahayes include [[Figoni et Falaschi]], [[Henri Chapron\|Chapron]], and [[Letourneur et Marchand]].

	As was customary for automobile manufacturers in this period, Delahaye also tried its hand in racing in the middle of the 1930s after the American heiress Lucy O'Reilly Schell approached the company with an offer to pay the development costs to build cars to her specifications for [[rally racing]]. In 1937, [[René Le Bègue]] and [[Julio Quinlin]] won the [[Monte Carlo Rally]] driving a Delahaye. This was the time when the German Nazi party, in an attempt to establish the dominance of their party, nation, and philosophy, nationalized the [[Mercedes-Benz]] and [[Auto Union]] racing teams and spared no expense to create some of the most advanced competition cars ever, whose raw speed was to be unequaled for the next 50 years. Against this juggernaut, Delahaye brought out the model 145, the so called 'Million Franc Delahaye' after its victory in the [[Million Franc Race]], which was driven by [[René Dreyfus]] to victory at [[Pau]] in 1938; doubly humiliating the Nazis by having a ~~[[Jew]]ish~~ driver in a French car beat their vaunted, state of the art, Mercedes-Benz [[Silver Arrows]]. This competition victory combined with French patriotism to create a wave of demand for Dalahaye cars, up until the German occupation of France during World War II.
