1936 Bugatti Type 57 Cabriolet
SOLD: $500,000
Chassis No. 57263
"In 1974, the car was purchased by Claude Jeangirard, a Bugatti enthusiast from the Loire Valley, for whom it was maintained by the renowned specialist Henri Novo for nine years. Jeangirard sold it in 1983 to the famous and prolific Bugatti collector, Michel Seydoux. Under Seydoux's care, the Bugatti was repainted in black and red by the famous Carrosserie Lecoq , and the mechanical components were overhauled by Gaston Garino of Puteaux. The current collection then purchased the convertible from Mr. Seydoux in the late 1990s, and it has remained largely out of the public eye since then."
