1939 Bugatti Type 57C Gangloff Coupe

Scuderia110 is honored to showcase this beautiful 1939 Bugatti Type 57C Gangloff Coupe… In 1939, a young designer by the name of Lucien Schlatter starting his career at Gangloff Carrossorie was commissioned with designing this beautifully streamlined Type 57 coupe for a client, which unfortunately never came to fruition due to the World War 2…. In 1989, nearly 50 years later, the owner of the Type 57 Bugatti chassis # 57524 approached Lucien Schlatter (now in his 70’s) to help finish the details of his original 1939 design as a replacement body for his Type 101 chassis… After half a century this car represents a realization of Gangloff design 4027, drawn by then, young Lucien Schlatter back on June 19, 1939… An original Bugatti factory supercharger was added to the 3.3 liter twin cam Type 57 engine. The chassis and mechanicals are all period correct original Bugatti components. More recently, the car was mechanically restored which includes the engine, water pump, brakes, and electricals. This beautiful 1939 Bugatti Type 57C Gangloff Coupe is available for sale to the next lucky owner. Please make your inquiries to Sal or John at Scuderia110..
