A racing car for the road, the impeccably styled Bugatti Type 43 has been called the first real 100 mph sports car and the epitome of an Art Deco automobile. Except for a lower compression ratio, the Type 43's eight-cylinder supercharged engine, in two four-cylinder blocks, was identical to the one placed in the Type 35B racing car. The car's transmission, axles and radiator came from the Type 38. The restoration of this car was started over 12 years ago by Lee Adams, the late husband of the current owner. Lee's dream was to have the car running and being enjoyed by his family, but he passed away before the dream could be realized. His wife, Betsy, took up where Lee left off, and with the help of a talented team of craftsmen, the 'pile of metal parts' in Betsy's garage was transformed into the stunning example shown.
