If I'm not allowed to sell the car (the SS is valued much higher than other 2) then I pick the Veyron as it would be a much more practical driver in the US. So obviously, Veyron gets my vote for a economy scenario as well. However, if both apply then SS for first and Veyron for second scenario.

My dad bought one a year or two used - white w/blue top. Previous owner put a pair of chrome bullets in the center of the taillights, then painted spider webs around them which I thought looked pretty cool although dad was less enthusiastic. He sold it shortly thereafter and bought an Olds 98 convertible, probably '63 or so.

I’m sure you know the small lights on the front are parking/turn signal lights, not headlights. I suspect your description of them will generate many comments.😉 Quad headlights on Plymouths and Dodges weren’t introduced until 1958.

The engine design consultancy I worked for worked with the foundry that made the engine blocks for this. I visited them a couple times and got to see a few blocks. It is a very high-tech place with a lot of very smart people working there. I learned a ton about casting from them. I also got to work with the guy who tuned the engine controller for this. He got to take it on the development track. Another intelligent guy and it was cool to talk with him. Easy choices for me in the WYR. I'd choose the SS and the 1926 Type 35. I've seen a Type 35 around here a couple times but it has to be a replica. I'd still like to talk to the guy who owns it.

Excellent video. I was never that impressed by the W16 because VW makes a W12 and therefore a W24 was more than possible. To few cylinders and too many turbo's. Nice clean(ish) duel stage supercharged W24; that's an engine worth owning. You can keep your Bugatti's, not interested in any overhyped and over exposed car. Yes the pre WW2 cars are quite beautiful and some of the engineering is interesting. Just not my cup of coffee. Pete.

Hello Jay! What an absolutely amazing engineering tour-de-force! Here's a somewhat obscure fact. During WWI Bugatti designed that U-16 engine for aircraft use. The idea was to put an aircraft type cannon between the cylinder banks for more firepower that would fire through the propeller hub, pretty much like the Me/Bf-109 of WWII. Anyway, a man named King decided the engine should be licence built in the U.S. Over here the name of the engine was the King-Bugatti. Who do you think got the contract to build these engines in the U.S.? Yep,the Duesenberg Brothers, who had a plant in New Jersey then, before they wanted to make cars and moved to Indianapolis. I have seen one or two of these engines in museums. I BELIEVE the one in the Museum of The United States Air Force has a plate on it that says King-Bugatti, Manufactured by Duesenberg Motors of Elizabeth NJ. Fred and Augie got inspired by the idea of a 16 cylinder aero-engine, and built their own massive 16 cylinder aircraft engine that put out an amazing (at the time) 800 horsepower! It was too big for any of the planes of the day, though! Duesenberg built marine engines at their New Jersey plant, for patrol boats, etc. during WWI WYR, Chiron and Type 35, of course! Those were the quintessential Bugatti racing cars, and probably the best they ever produced After WWI the Molsheim area became part of France, and so the original Bugattis are known as French cars.

Of course, Studebaker had its own 289 in passenger cars from 1956 through 1964, and I'd rather have an Avanti R1or a '64 GT Hawk than any of the Ford products offered as choices here. The '62 Mercury Meteor would be an interesting variation at a Fairlane drive-in meet.

Excellent coverage of an amazing engine! Ettore Bugatti was a perfectionist. To work in his factory, the story goes, an applicant was given a solid steel rod, and told to make one end a square, using only a hand file. Then the finished product had to have the *exact* dimensions as directed by Bugatti. I would imagine that he would be impressed by the W-16 engine. That transmission looks like you could use it in a semi truck! WYR= Really, Jay? If I could afford one, I could afford them all! But the Type 35 would definitely end up in my garage! P.S.: When the Veyron came out, I remember that Michelin virtually hand made the tires, and that they were $21,000 *_each_* !!!

VW did NOT buy Rolls-Royce. They only bought Bentley, and with it, the factory facilities in England. This is also where Rolls-Royce had been built. The name and Rolls-Royce trademark was purchased by BMW. Because of this, BMW had to re-create Rolls-Royce from the ground up. During this transition period, BMW worked with VW/Bentley until BMW had built it's own manufacturing facilities. Before all the mergers, Rolls-Royce had tried using BMW V12 engines but R-R buyers felt that the BMW engine didn't have enough torque. They continued using the traditional R-R/Bentley V8, in both Turbocharged and naturally aspirated versions. Remember, R-R/Bentley cars weighed close to 3 tons. Although there was alot of aluminum in the bodies, the frames were built like a HD 1 ton truck. BMW/R-R continued to buy Bentley V8's until BMW could build it's own engines capable of pushing it's new ground up re-designed R-R(based on BMW's "7" series, but oh so much larger).
