Can you believe that the 1936 Bugatti pictured above sold for an estimated $30 – $40 Million to the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, CA. The car was once owned by the estate of the late neurologist Dr. Peter D. Williamson who facilitated the sale. More info on the rare vehicle below:
Only four of the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic were made based on the “Aérolithe” concept car of 1935. The vehicle featured flowing coupe lines and a pronounced dorsal seam creating using Elektron and Duralumin for the body panels. Out of the four that were built, only two are still in existence today; the Williamson Bugatti which won the 2003 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance and one that is in Ralph Lauren’s private collection.
The 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic is now the most expensive car sold by a landslide. The closest amount behind the Bugatti is the 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa sold for $12.2 million in 2009 and the 1931 Bugatti Royale Kellner Coupe sold for $8.7 million in 1987.
