It has an iconic fin design which is a symbol in the automotive history for a marvelous combination of engineering and design capabilities.

While making the research about this video, I came across a lot resources with contradicting information. This was due to the unclear nature of documentation pre world war 2. So if you find any mistakes, or want to make any corrections, please do so. I will highly appreciate it!

[@ozoioi79]

Yes kids the 2019 La Voiture Noire is not the first to rock that name

[@djpierre4613]

The black car was build for Bugatti themselfs and was used for shows, testdrives and such. This makes the car a showcase model and (most likely) it would have been used to be a development vehicle with ongoing changes made to it. My guess is that the car had been dissembled before the mentioned trainride and many parts where used on other projects. Bugatti didn't care much about the prototypes, the aerolithe chassis is most likely used for another car and other parts where used on 57374 for example. This would explain why there is some confusion about the chassisnumbers. If the car still existed it would have sufaced by now...

[@DrivingCurb]

That sounds like a solid theory given that the Bordeaux arrival list mentioned as "automotive materials". I couldn't find the exact list but even mentioning it as "materials" kinda supports it. Only additional thing I can think of is maybe the initial version has an owner after Jean, like Duhoux and perhaps he made some agreements. But again that part is hazy as well.

[@The-Matt-Richard]

Is this an AI generated voice? Lots of pronunciation errors

[@DrivingCurb]

Yes, although I've tried to fix it as much as I can it still sounds wrong. I am planning to use a voiceover artist and scriptwriter for the next video

[@briansenez7718]

@@DrivingCurb The voice is natural sounding, it took me about 5 minutes to notice. I only noticed because there are a bunch of minor grammatical errors that make it obvious. Try running your script through the free version of grammarly. It will catch them.

I have seen a dark blue “convertible” Type 57 in person, in the wild, it was cool and super random.

[@Sam-lq2jh]

They say if found the 57sc atlantic could be the most expensive car ever. But I think there is another car that would sell for far more. Another french car from a different brand that nearly everyone knows about and knows exactly where it is. But its very very unlikely to ever be seen again.

My guess, Bugatti hid Most of their cars during ww2 so (n)azis wouldn’t steal the cars. We know of a couple that survived this war this way. Now imagine if the axis did obtain the car, maybe even (h)itlter himself wanted the car. The Germans army main source of transportation for stolen art / goods was by horse or Train. Obviously too large Top be pulled by horses the car must’ve been transported by trains. Most If Not all railroads and trains were attacked / destroyed by American air patrols. Undocumented trains… All speculations, no real evidence. Thanks for reading. Have a good day.
