    1936 Bugatti 57sc Atlantic @ Auction

     



    I wonder if the new owner will drive it daily (like I would!) or just turn it into a dumba$$ Trailer Queen??

    Driving a car with that kind of value on a public street would not be a good way to protect one's investment!!!! If it were mine, I doubt it would even see the trailer much but rather have a prominent display place in someone's museum!!!!

    IF I spent 30 million on a car, besides having my head examined, I'd have to drive it everywhere. I can afford it so why not, all it would do is sit and collect dust bunnies in a garage.. ez come, ez go ::lol::

    I agree Hoss, that thing is but-ugly. I love many of the Bugatti models (Type 35 for eg.) but I could think of a lot of better ways to spend 30 million! I'm not sure what Ettore was thinking when he designed that.

    To some it is a piece of art.... a piece of history.... or an irreplaceable object! Put this one in a safe place, or sell it to someone who will.

    ....then build a copy, and beat the hell out of it, drive the wheels off, chop it, customize it, or paint it to look like a rusty leftover from the early days of rodding.

    If it makes you feel better, you can tell them it's an original, and you don't care if it gets wrecked or abused... because it's ugly, and it's YOURS!

    In the mean time, the $$$ will be drawing interest, and a priceless relic will be saved. :-)
