Is that the one where the front fender completely hides the front wheels? I think I had a picture of that car as my wallpaper background for a while. Those old Bugatti's are the most beautiful cars ever built.

Whoa there, get your facts straight. There were no Type 41's made in 1939, the production of all 6 occured b/t 1926 and 1931. Also, the Gueiness Book of World Records doesn't list the highest public auction price as $19,000,000, it is closer to $11,000,000, but that was in 1986, private sales of 41's have been been rumored to by up to your figure though. Finally, Porsche, that is a 1938 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, not a 1936.

I think there were around 12 Bugatti built, and most of them can be found at the Musée National de l'Automoblie in Mulhouse (eastern France) http://www.collection-schlumpf.com/schlumpf/ (link)

LOL you don't like 10,000,000 million + dollar vehicles living with you? hehehe

Ya, Duesey knows his Bugattis. I'm guessing all other cars of that era too.
