Hey cool if that’s real it’s the first Bugatti worth looking at in over 50 years. So sick of the new crap. I’d take this over anything they do now. Beautiful even if a replica

Looks like a Type 57 Ventoux, which was a “factory” body. I don’t think people make replicas of these (Most Bugatti replicas are copies of the Type 35 and Type 57 Atlantic)

I had a Hot Wheels when I was a kid that looked very similar to this. I did a search to find the it was a Type 50. What’s the difference between a Type 50 and a Type 57?
This is a famous Bugatti Type 57. There’s a book called “Sleeping Beauties” about old valuable pre-war cars that were rotting away on an estate in France and this particular the car is the on the cover. The owner and guy driving it is Bruce Meyer who’s well known in the LA car scene and he only buys cars with the best history. He was also the first chairman of the Peterson Museum. I saw this car parked at the Malibu cars and coffee one time which was wild. To answer your question; it’s real, it’s very rare and it’s worth at least a couple million dollars.

GOATED spot. I absolutely adore that Bugatti and have never seen one outside of a book.

Seeing a modern Bugatti like a Chiron for example is one thing. Seeing an old Bugatti that isn’t a replica is something else

It’s real. It was shown at the Father’s Day car show in Beverly Hills

I had the Hot Wheels version, same color scheme, as a kid.

Type 57, I think, someone correct me if I’m wrong
[I think it’s this one specifically](https://mindovermotor.com/2015/08/18/1936-bugatti-type-57-ventoux-at-the-concours-of-america/)
