The Delage Type AD was an early passenger car model from the French brand Delage .

description

Delage only offered the model in 1910. Predecessor was the Delage Type J . A type test by the national approval authority is not known, which suggests that it could be dispensed with because the Delage Type AB was already tested as a model with this wheelbase and an engine of this size.

A four-cylinder engine of De Dion-Bouton powered vehicles. It had a 75 mm bore and 120 mm stroke . This resulted in a displacement of 2121 cm³ . The engine was classified with 12  Cheval fiscal . The engine performance has not been recorded, but like in the previous model it should have been around 14.5  hp .

The chassis had a track width of 1280 mm and a wheelbase of 2750 mm . Superstructures are known as torpedo with four seats.

Delage Type AB, Type AC , Type AD, Type AE and Type AH had a similar or even identical chassis. The main difference was in the engine used.

Numbers of units and surviving vehicles

Peter Jacobs from the Delage Register of Great Britain compiled an overview of production figures and the number of vehicles that still exist in October 2006. His information on the construction times differ in some cases from the information given by the book authors. Numbers of the models before the First World War are unknown. For this model he confirms that it was built in 1910. No existing vehicle is known.
