1939 Bugatti, Type 57C Cabriolet. Known as the Shaw's Bugatti among car collectors. Photographed here in Teheran, Iran in 1957. A beautiful car in spite of the wear and tear and dust. Bugatti's were fitted with many different bodies from craftsmen of the period. Bodies by Van Vooran are some of the most beautiful. Each car was hand made and unique.

1939 Bugatti, Type 57C Cabriolet. Built for the Shaw of Iran as a gift from the French government. It was photographed in 1957. The car was red and in better than average condition. In a recent photo the car is black. In 1957, it was probably owned by someone other than the Shaw. The happy ending for this beautiful, one of a kind car, is that it was completely restored by a collector and is now considered a priceless work of art.
