Bugatti to offer up million dollar sedan?
With the successful (if much delayed) release of the Veyron under its belt, Bugatti is all about branching out. The Veyron's nice and everything, but some folks just don't want a coupe -- what's plutocratic family man to do? And besides... despite its hefty price tag, most accounts have parent company Volkswagen losing money on each and every Veyron delivered. So... what's a reborn marque to do? Expand.
To that end, Bugatti may just have kin-toting millionaires covered. While company officials have officially nixed the idea of the poor man's coupe/roadster (which doesn't surprise us -- why build low-volume cars for $60 Gs when you can build them for $1.3 million?), there has been some talk about a coupe-sedan, complete with 950 horsepower.

I have a 1982 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham d'Elegance, which may be one of the few remaining Cadillac diesels.
I bought this car new in 1982 & it is a one owner car.
Does it have any historical value?
Please reply.

This isn't the first time Bugatti has talked about making a sedan. Here's a prototype they showed in 2000:

That prototype is cool. I can see some influences on the current Bentley styling - it's all under the VW roof! The sketch is not official Bugatti but will need a bit more thought for $1.3M!!
