A 1938 DELAGE Type D8-120 S Cabriolet has triumphed in the prestigious Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award. Eligible for the honour after it scooped the Best of Show trophy at the 2022 Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace, the car is owned by Fritz Burkard and his Pearl Collection.
The decision was announced at Quail Lodge & Golf Club in Carmel, California, during Monterey Car Week, and Burkard said: "This award is truly the highest honour for a car collector like myself. It has been such a joy bringing this car to numerous concours around the world. To be selected as the recipient of this distinguished award by such an acclaimed group of judges is truly humbling.
