I spent the day at the Mullin Museum today, photographing Bugatti, Delahaye, Hispano - Suiza, and other rare, beautiful automobiles, and some unrestored Bugatti from the Schlumpf collection, and will be posting them for the next several days... here is a quick look





above is the worlds highest priced car ever sold, at between 30 and 40 million. Ralph Lauren has one just like it, and the two are the only completely original Type 57SC Atlantics in existence http://www.sportscardigest.com/gooding-and-company-sells-1936-bugatti-type-57sc-atlantic/


In the next couple of days or weeks, however long it takes to get the photos posted, you'll see a lot of Bugatti, Talbot Lago, Avion Voisin, Delahaye, Hispano Suiza, Charron, De Dion Bouton, Auto Union, Peugeot, and Renault
