Sad for sure but no doubt those cars will go quickly....  to the highest bidder.   😏 😏

What an incredible collection. If most go to other museums, like the mentioned Petersen Museum, the public will still have opportunity to share and view these magnificent machines. If to privateers, some may not be seen again for a long time, if ever, and that truly would be sad.

Based on the photos provided in the article, most of the cars are outside my “field of desirability” except for the 1938 Tatra Type 87 Saloon…that one I liked.

That is a shame. The best collection of French curves, I am so happy I visited the museum in 2022.

A fabulous museum that I never got to visit. Hopefully all the cars will appear in other museums over time and not be lost to public view.

GREAT choice Chris! I believe that is a 1939 Bugatti Type 57C Aravis. GORGEOUS automobile!
