Stroke 11 - Return to the past - Delage D8 Grand Sport



Another 30’s sports car that gets new life with SketchUp, this time from a little-known and now defunct French brand, the Delage, and its D8 Grand Sport model, from 1932.


Again, I was curious about a picture I found, specially with the top view of this car, its fluid forms and how the fenders and running boards are integrated into the bodywork.


Surely this would be a car with an image very advanced for its time, so my tribute to this model.

Taking advantage of the model, I recall also a great name, Le Corbusier, and its "Eglise Saint Pierre," 1925, as a backdrop to the Delage.


Could well serve as an inspiration to the fender...

The video performed in SketchUp it’s already part of this strokes collection.
