Description
Still trying to wrap up the pics I'll post from the 16 Aug 09 Pebble Beach Concours d' Elegance - I can see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
Bugatti has been one of the greatest status symbols for the past 100 years regardless of whether it is a 2010 $2.5 million Veyron or the macdaddy of all - Guiness world record holder Type 41 from 1932 worth > $10 million. The Bugatti models present this year ran the gamut from the 1920 Type 13 to the 35B, 37A, 43A, 46, 52, 54, 35A/51, 57, 57C, 57SC to a half dozen Veyrons in colors including the exclusive new Sang Bleu, white/blue, grey/grey, silver, blue/black, and white.
One thing that intrigues me about Bugatti is that it is a French car with an Italian name. I also like how they stay true to their origin with all models having the distinct Bugatti grill regardless of how old or new.
The concours coincided with the Monterey Historic Auto Races at Laguna Seca Raceway, Concorso Italiano at Laguna Seca Golf Course, an exclusive car show at The Quail in Carmel Valley, Concours d' Lemons at Toro Park and several high visibility auctions around the Monterey peninsula.

Bugatti the company was indeed French, but Ettore Bugatti the man was Italian born.
And interestingly enough, the Bugatti company was at one stage incorporated in Italy, when the company was producing the EB110 supercar.
And for even more Bugatti facts: the original Bugatti company as founded by Ettore still exists as Messier-Bugatti, and is a producer of "systems integrators and high-tech aeronautical equipment." They still own and make use of the original Bugatti premises. They did, however, sell the Chateau where Bugatti greeted his clients, to VW and that is where they now base the modern Bugatti car company and produce the Veyron!
