On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Phoenix, AZ on 1-25-24.
We're looking at a 1909 Edward Ballot Delage in Red Paint. The car comes with the 2 Litre inline 4-cylinder engine and has a 4 speed manual transmission.
The car's Owner is Alan Travis. Alan’s had this car since 2004. Alan shares this is a race car back in 1909 and the people who wanted this car had to have the money for this “Gentleman’s Sports Car” which was $4,000.00 or about 8 times the price of the average house of the day. Probably helped to be a thrill seekers too.
ENJOY!

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
These vehicles were truly rolling works of art. In pristine condition. Amazing engineering for the time. Thanks Lou!
Hi John, Happy to share this "rolling work of art" with you :-) You're welcome!
This is a wonderful piece of art and history. If Jay Leno does not have one of these I know he wants one! It is indeed a wonderful thing that this automobile has been preserved.
Happy to read "This is a wonderful piece of art and history" :-)
These early cars are awesome works of art and seemingly with an equally great caretaker. Please keep these coming.
Hi dahmooren, Happy to read you enjoy this "awesome works of art and seemingly with an equally great caretaker." :-) There are a few more coming so stay tuned for the next one next Sunday, Lou
The travails of owning an antique car, still a great car and episode. 👍
Hi Terri, Yeah a bit of a walk back home & happy to share this "great car" with you :-) Lou
I’m glad that you kept the walk of shame in the edit.
Cars then were much more temperamental towards dirt, air mixtures and the rest than modern cars are. Thanks for the reminder.
Hi Jeff, I'm glad you like that I kept that in. I thought it would show what it's really like. My pleasure sharing with you, and you're welcome. Lou
"walk of shame" I like that!
Lou, Mr. Travis and his autos are amazing. His intimate knowledge of each car is astounding. I love the fact that he runs 'em. Really cool series Lou, I've learned a lot. Gr8 stuff!
Audie, Happy to read "I've learned a lot" :-) I have too! Glad you're along for the ride, Lou
Well said. Thank you Lou and Mr Travis
Lou Mr Travis es un entusiasta de los viejos autos Su inglés no es tan clarito como el tuyo ,me cuesta más entenderlo ,Gracias ,muchas gracias En Montevideo Uruguay ,hay una buena colección de autos de épocas pasadas , Pero si bien están atendidos, no funcionan como los de Mr Travis
Great car two great friends and the "walk of shame" which is a true part of old car collection. That is a part of collecting cars over 100 years old and we've all made that walk. Congrats to you both for making a great series out of Alans Collection!
Hi Larry, Ahhh the occasional "walk of shame" bonds you in delightful conversation on the way back home :-) My pleasure sharing with you, Lou
Very interesting car (another one I did not know about)!
This “series” with Allan’s collection has been quite informative and educational.
This one, like the others, is in spectacular condition and Allan’s knowledge level is amazing.
Thanks Lou and Allan for letting us see this beauty.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read you find this car "Very interesting" :-) I was taking notes for at least an hour before videoing each car as I needed to learn about the car before we figured out what to video. Real education and fun learning too. You're welcome, Lou
@@loucostabile Even some of the technology is surprisingly advance - dry sump oiling for example. Pretty impressive!
Absolutely Beautiful!! incredible technology for the times. That must have been a really interesting time to be alive. All the equipment that was being developed and tested...Thank you for bringing such automotive royalty to us Lou.....
Hi John, High praise. My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Another great presentation from Alan on a super impressive race car. The technology that went into this is amazing. Thanks Lou, these oldies are always more interesting.
Hi Bruce H., High praise. Glad to read "these oldies are always more interesting." :-) You're welcome, Lou
It definitely looks like a classy race car to me. I really am enjoying this series and learning about this era's cars and their engineering from Mr. Travis. Of course, the test drives look fantastic, too. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to read "It definitely looks like a classy race car to me" :-) My pleasure sharing this series with you. You're welcome, Lou
Don’t forget ! Lou says , always “ Step on the brake. Step on the brake. Step on the brake. Give it a Rev give it a Rev give it a Rev. Give it a Rev.
:-)
Great stuff Lou, thank goodness you weren't too far from home.
HI Raider X, Happy to read "Great stuff" :-) You're right, not too far of a walk to get home, Lou
Another beauty. If I had to pick one of these I wouldn't know how, they are all so incredible. So much more impressive than the junk we have now. Better days.
