No production figures recorded yet.
History
The model was built from 1905 to 1910 in two series, 1905-1907 and 1907-1910, in normal and long chassis. At the 1907 show it received a three-quarter elliptic rear suspension that it kept to the end. In 1905 a licence deal let the German firm Presto build some Type 28 cars under the Presto-Delahaye name.
