Future Release

Designed by Georges Paulin, Coachbuilt by Marcel Pourtout,

the personal car of Louis Delage, and the winner of the

"Best of Show" title at the

2005 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

This spectacular one-of-a-kind automobile was built for the 1937 Paris Auto Salon; after that it became Louis Delage's personal car. Since its show stopping restoration, this Delage has taken part in many Concours, has been featured in numerous publications, and was one of the select cars featured in the 2010 museum exhibition entitled "The Allure of The Automobile"

Shown are photos of the real car as well as our very rough 1:12 scale master pattern along with our smaller 1:24 scale test shot. (We often use a smaller test shot to check many areas before having the larger 1:12 pattern made.) There is still a lot of hand work to be done, which includes modifying and final shaping of the body in many areas, and then making and finishing various detail parts, but the majority of the most intensive work has been completed. This body with all of its compound curves, flowing lines and subtle nuances is one of the most difficult to capture.

The two 3/4 view photos of the Delage in the snow were taken a few years ago while we were doing our initial research, gathering of dimensions, and taking numerous photos. As with all CMA Models, ours will be exceptionally high quality, completely accurate, truly limited edition items. The kit will build a highly detailed static model (no opening panels) but will still feature a wealth of detail. It will be made of high grade polyurethane resin, with photo etched and other metal parts, the tires will be soft black urethane which perfectly simulates rubber, but has the advantage of being more durable. Decals will of course be very high quality. Comprehensive instructions to guide you every step of the way are naturally part of the package. Signed numbered certificates will also be included with each kit.

NOTE: All kits will be made in the U.S.A. and will be a limited edition. No more than a total of 250 made for worldwide distribution. Unlike most other model companies, we do Not make nor do we mass produce any models or kits in China.

Please note: We have been working on our CMA Limited Edition for a long time. We were the FIRST company to select this car to be made in any scale larger than1:43.
