Mystery of Bugatti La Voiture Noire

[@A57SC]

Thank you very much for your appreciation! We work on to find more heirs of Mr. Duhoux and his friends! Coming soon: - An article about two interesting testimonies concerning possible transport of the car to the USA and/or to Africa, - An article about the Brondeel Expedition- a trans-Saharan journey to Kongo that Mr. Duhoux participated in. I am open for questions.

[@DrivingCurb]

Hi Andrzej, thank you for making an amazing research and providing us the latest updates. I will keep your comment pinned, so more people can learn about the subject. Keep up the amazing work!

Imagine seeing these stunning automobiles driving down the road back then. What a sight. Incredible video!

[@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.

[@RoverWaters]

This wasn't a prototype, furthermore it was the best design work and personal car of his late dead son Jean, so no, the car was not dissembled. Ettore had the habit to bury valuable cars to hide them. He did so before WWI, he also buried the wrecked car in which Jean died in 1939, he also had the Coupe Napoleon T41 car designed by Jean hidden behind a false wall so nazis wouldn'. get to it. Definitely the black Atlantic was also hidden.

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

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!

[@Haroun-El-Poussah]

First time I saw a (black) 57SC Atlantic, I didn't knew what it was, but it was the most beautiful car I ever saw! It was in a B-series movie with car thieves, maybe was likely the 57591... Gosh, I'd love a replica: 165/200 hp is nothing special nowadays and cars are way more secure, but gosh, what a design!

[@Lcspotz]

The owner of the 2019 La Voiture Noire is nobody ohter than the Piëch family. They have a huge collection and the car is registered to Zug in Switzerland. Cool thing is that the car is still driven very often

The black car is parked in a undergrund facility in Denmark alongside the green car of same period and the Duesenberg Midnight Ghost. The Duesenberg is not verified original, but the two bugattis was recovered in France in 1986 after being spotted in a farmhouse by a kid on holiday in a nearby house rented by his parents.

[@tommasosantojanni]

I'm genuinely interested, not trolling. Can someone, kindly, point out the errors? My great grandfather owned a Bugatti (an earlier model) before the war. It disappeared from our garage when they evacuated during the allied bombings of 1943. It has never been found, nor has it ever appeared in shows.

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.

[@RoverWaters]

Ettore Bugatti had the habit of hiding valuable cars before wars. before WW1 buried cars to hide them. After Jean died in 1939 the wrecked LeMans car was buried also, at hes order. Considering the sentimental value of the black Atlantic, being the personal car of his late son Jean, Ettore had the car sent to Bordeaux for safekeeping from imminent war and ...hidden the car. He also did something similar for the Coupe Napoleon for same reasons.

I was googling about the railway between Molsheim and Bordeaux but it has a route that passing through Paris and since it's 1941, I think it stopped and was Hijacked by the Nazis, telling why it never arrived since the Nazis were already there and invading france that time. (Just my theory anyway)

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.
