The Type 57C is recognized as being the most sporting of all non-racing Bugatti’s. The T57/57C was and entirely new design heavily influenced by Jean Bugatti, son of founder Ettore. Between 1934 and the outbreak of World War II, more than 680 examples were produced in various body styles. The vehicle delivered all around refinement, while focusing on the engineering values that had made Bugatti successful.
Chassis #57661 was delivered in May 1938, with a Stelvio
cabriolet body to Lacroix. The car was
refitted with this unique Volla Ruhrbeck “Waterfall” body which has now been
retrofitted to chassis 57819. This car
was restored in 2010, with engine 25C by Highmountain Classics and fitted with
a reproduction roadster body built by Autoclassic Tourane (Tours France) to the
design the Jean Bugatti and Gangloff completed in December of 1935.
