This Bugatti, according to the American Bugatti Club records, was originally clothed as a Stelvio Cabriolet and delivered on October 8th of 1938, to the agent Monestier for his client, Glaizal. Additional information suggests this car should be registered as 57577, not as 57584.

The car currently wears a Corsica-style roadster coachwork, in similar fashion to chassis number 57593, the car that won Best of Show honors at the 1998 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance.

This Type 57 was imported to the United States many years ago. The current owner acquired this 57C in 2007 and has since completely restored the interior. The inside is in dark tan leather.

The engine is a 3257cc dual overhead cam eight-cylinder unit fitted with a roots-type supercharger. There is a four-speed manual gearbox and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.

In 2010, this Bugatti was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company Auction held in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was estimated to sell for $450,000 - $550,000. As bidding came to a close, the lot was sold for the sum of $429,000, inclusive of buyer's premium.
