This Type 57 Saoutchik cabriolet was a very worthy winner of the Best of Show Trophy at Pebble Beach in 1985 - the same memorable year that all the Bugatti Royales were seen together for the first time. It was owned at that time by Jack Becronis. Between 1934 and 1939, 685 Type 57s were built at the Molsheim factory. The Bugatti Type 57 was both beautiful and powerful with its 3.3-liter engine capable of producing 135 horsepower. Many Type 57s were one-off coachbuilt automobiles, but four factory-built body styles were also available, each named after an Alpine mountain peak or pass.
