This rare 1936 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic has become the world’s most expensive car. Previously owned by collector Dr. Peter D. Williamson, it sold for nearly $40 million to the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, CA. Only four examples were ever made, and just two or three survive today. The sale was brokered by California auction house Gooding & Company.
According to David Gooding (President, Gooding & Company):
“I am extremely pleased to have found the new buyer for the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, one of the world’s most significant and valuable automobiles that has been in a private collection and rarely seen during the past four decades. It has been a great pleasure to work with the Williamson Family and Trust in this important endeavor.”
