The first model, the Type-A, was introduced in 1906. [11] The DIS became the Series 6 in 1927, switching to coil ignition and water pump. [23][25] With the post-war resumption of passenger car production, 330 Delage cars appear to have been produced by Delahaye between 1946 and 1953.[23][26].

[8] The CO became the CO2, which changed to an overhead valve twin-plug head, producing 88 hp (66 kW; 89 PS), while the DO was supplanted by the DE with a 2,117 cc (129.2 cu in) (72 by 130 mm (2.8 by 5.1 in)) sidevalve four and, unusual in a production car even in this era, four-wheel brakes. The publicity value of racing was recognised right from the start, a Delage winning the Coupe Des Voiturettes as early as 1908 and Louis himself taking the 1911 Coupe de l'Auto. [9] A 1925 car had a 5,954 cc (363.3 cu in) (95 by 140 mm (3.7 by 5.5 in)) six, again using the GL block, with four valves per cylinder and twin overhead cams. [10], The 1924 and 1925 DIS, with a 117 in (3,000 mm) wheelbase, switched from Rolls-Royce-type locking wheel hubs to Rudge knock-ons, better cam, and bigger valves, while the 1925 and 1926 DISS on the same wheelbase.

But Louis Delage would not admit defeat, and with the help of a businessman called Walter Watney created the Société Nouvelle des Automobiles Delage (SAFAD), to market Delage cars, assembled from production Delahayes. [6] Production of passenger cars virtually stopped, with the exception of some fabrication for the Army. La marque commence alors à remporter des courses importantes jusqu'au début de la Première Guerre mondiale. Inoltre, poco dopo, aprì un nuovo stabilimento a Courbevoie. These two models, equipped with independent front wheel suspension did not increase sale figures. [6] While quick, they proved unreliable; only one finished, Duray's, in eighth.[6]. Both the CO and DO were replaced in 1922. The company at first had just two lathes and three employees,[3] one of them Peugeot's former chief designer. Già nel 1909, l'anno seguente, la Delage poté costruire da sé i propulsori per le sue vetture e le carrozzerie, e nel 1911 si ingrandì a tal punto da poter essere considerata una vera e propria Casa automobilistica e non più una piccola azienda.
