Bug in a Barn

[Full Canvas]

Just when you thought that every old barn in each and every corner of the globe had yielded every old car worth even a moment's attention . . . here comes the find of a lifetime.

An unrestored and original Bugatti T57 Atalante CoupÃ

that saw its first daylight in many decades at the Greenwich Concours d'Elegance this weekend. Here it is with a little patina. Edward Green shoes can take a lesson about antiquing from this car!

For those of you that haven't read the Steve McQueen Ferrari Lusso thread in this forum, that is McQueen's Lusso pictured on the background banner in the top image and it's that sable colored car in the background of the lowermost image.

so it was sitting in some random barn in NY? or did they tack that license plate on recently? either way, that'd be so awesome to find.

I miss the Greenwich Concourse. We used to have a standing invitation to show the Packard.
