Re: 80 year old muscle
Man he was building cool cars back then. All that machine turned metal had to be state of the art back then. I love those cars.

Re: 80 year old muscle
Mark, I am STILL working on the videos and YES the car IS artwork. Bugatti did go to scool for art before quitting and becoming an apprentice at a machine shop. My visit today was so incredibly educational. The story of Bugatti from school to burying cars in the ground while hiding during the war in Greece, all fascinating!

Re: 80 year old muscle
That is an incredible car.
There were two brother's that had secretly put together an unbelievable car collection housed in warehouses . No one knew about the cars until some fuss went down and the French government seized all the assets. When opening a few wharehoues on the property they were surprised to find a car collection . Included was a serious collection of Bugatti's . What the French government said the brothers/owners owed them was far less than what the cars were worth. Needless to say they never got their cars back ): If ever in France go check it out Does anyone know the why the color blue ?  http://www.collection-schlumpf.com/en/schlumpf/ http://www.pan3sixty.co.uk/personal_...mpf_collection

Re: 80 year old muscle
One of my relatives owns a car like this. He drives his as well. They are definitely beautiful in their own right. Trevor
