4 of this beautiful Bugatti Type 57SC "Atlantic" were produced between 1936 and 1938 with 3 surviving. It was at the forefront of the tear drop design movement that became the rage of French coachbuilders. The riveted dorsal spine gave it a serious 'machined' or aircraft look in contrast to its graceful lines. It's another spectacular CMC model.

"It's another spectacular CMC model."
Yep! There's really no other way to describe it - even with Curly standing next to it. 😀 😆

An elegant model of an elegant automobile.

And to think for a brief moment in time, I actually owned an Atlantic, albeit in 1:8 scale.

- Oh, no! I never built it. The photos of the built car are from the manufacturer. I purchased it and sold it as an unbuilt kit. I had it for about two weeks.@marty-johnson You built it and sold it?

@marty-johnson WOW! Even you if you sold it for thousands - I KNOW YOU wanted to keep it! Whew, that's one hell of a model. Oops! Excuse me, I mean high-quality replica! 😀 😬 😀
