A 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, which reportedly when it changed hands in a private transaction valued at close to $40 million. It’s one of only three built. The 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic is sleek, sensuous and the first big splash at the Mullin Automotive Museum, an institution that celebrates the Art Deco and Streamline eras, adding fuel to insider speculation that the museum’s founder, financier, philanthropist and Bugatti boffin Peter Mulli was the purchaser, which is putting it on public display for about three months starting next Tuesday. Reservations are required and may be made at http://www.mullinautomotivemuseum.com.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to display the Bugatti Atlantic at our Art Deco museum,” Mullin says. “The Art Deco Movement was driven by people who were fascinated by invention and innovation – by the exotic nature of new technology and materials, by art and design, by speed and by the machine – no automobile captures this spirit more than the Bugatti Atlantic. In the historic pantheon of automobiles the Atlantic is without peer.”
