Beautiful!

You nailed these photos, George, thank you.
CMC sure got the fender crossbar crooked. Why are some chrome, like my example, and others blue? Has anyone compared this to the AA version?

Wheel camber reversed?
It looks like there is negative camber on the front wheels of your Bgatti. Maybe it is an illusion due to the camera lens. I thought there is a positive camber on the front wheels for Bugatti's from that period. I hope I got the terms right.

CMC got the camber way too open (splayed) on the
Type 35. I noticed they have corrected the problem on the upcoming Typ 35 releases.

Source for your info?
I just did a google for the Atlantic. Brought up a bunch of photos. Now it is hard to be sure about the positive camber on some of the images, but there are plenty that clearly show it, including the Rothchild/ Mullin car and the Pope/Lauren.

Correction
To be clear: typ 35, wider at top, closer at bottom. Is this called positive camber?

It is a wonderfully detailed model. It should look nice next to the upcoming Alfa!

Black & Blue, or Black & Bruised?

John, I was wrong
It was CMC who managed to get the typ. 57 camber slightly incorrect in my opinion. John, when I looked at a bunch of photos, including Jay Leno's car, I began to agree with you. Not sure why CMC has the camber negative. Any thoughts?

I got both Bugatti's type 57 atlantic for CMC, I am waiting on the Bugatti Roadster from CMC. Seems everything CMC does turns to gold.
