A Bugatti racing on Harpers Dry Lake in 1940...Tommy Lee's, same as the next posts streamliner, wow, wonder if it recieved a timing tag for the dash?

The Bugatti was owned by Tommy Lee, who's dad owned some type of car dealership in LA (thanks Travis!)

These are screen shots from the 1940 Harpers Dry Lakes racing video that Dave from http://www.seabrighthotrods.com/  just added to youtube

1937 Bugatti Atlantic type 57SC, holds the record for being sold for the most ever paid for a car, no one is saying who bought it and loaned it to the Mullin Museum though

Ralph Lauren has one just like it, they are two of a kind, and the most prized vehicles I've ever heard of

If you are enjoying the Bugatti and Mullin museum posts, head over to Justacargal's blog, http://justacargal.blogspot.com/  as she is faster at posting than I am, and has a lot more already posted from our tour... maybe not as many photos of each car, but I probably post a lot more than most people are interested in anyway

For a photo of the collection in the Schlumpf warehouse: http://theoldmotor.com/?p=36666 

The Schlumpf Collection may have been the most prestigious car collection in the world. This is demonstrated by the two of the only 6 made Bugatti Royales, including the famous Coupé Napoléon, the 150 Bugatti, Hispano-Suiza, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, Maserati, Maybach, Mercedes models, etc.

It was in a former woollen mill that Fritz Schlumpf established his collection of 437 cars belonging to 97 different brands. With part of it on display at the Cité de l’Automobile, it is certainly a must see if you get to France

The collection was seized by the workers employed by the Schlumpf brothers, who had collected for years, and topped off their collection when Hispano Suiza needed to liquidate many of the Bugatti assets in 1963 after having purchased the Bugatti company. The Schlumpfs puchased Ettore Bugatti’s personal Bugatti Royale and many original spares and patterns—over the strong objections of the managing director and Roland Bugatti, Ettore Bugatti’s surviving son.

In 1971 the union of workers that had been restoring the cars, building restaurants, and a hotel that would have housed guests to the collection, went on strike, at the same time that the business of wool mills was having a worldwide textile crises and years later the French government seized all of the Schlumpf assetts, including 437 vehicles. The strike was part of what forced the brothers to flee to Switzerland, echoing Bugatti's flight to Paris in the 1937 strike.
