Delahaye VLR
The Delahaye VLR was a four-wheel-drive passenger vehicle clearly inspired by the Jeep and first presented, after an unusually long gestation, by Delahaye during the Summer of 1950. At a time when the luxury car market had been driven into freefall by a combination of government taxation policy and the depressed state of the postwar economy, the VLR was critical in keeping alive the company that produced it during the early 1950s. "VLR" stood for Véhicule léger de reconnaissance (light reconnaissance vehicle). The name "VLRD" (Véhicule léger de reconnaissance Delahaye) is also sometimes used.
