Mullin Museum: Bugatti Type 64 Coupe Chassis
Aug 8, 2013
- Bugatti Type 64 chassis #64002, the second of three Type 64 chassis ever built at the factory. Not the background renderings of the proposed Art Center/Stuart Reed Coupe coachwork.
- Good look at the balsa-wood placeholder. This gives you an idea of where the finished lines will be.
- Note the non-horseshoe grill, similar to the Type 57SC
- Sporting leaf springs and dampers, the Type 64 sits on the cusp of old and new
- About the most beautiful radiator cap you're likely to see
- Everyone loves wire wheels with knock off hubs.
- An exceedingly beautiful fuel rail
- Elegant yet relatively primitive steering box. Note the cotter pins holding the nuts in place. The fancier the Bugatti, the more cotter pins you'll find.
Part of the frame, and part of the exceedingly pretty intake manifold
- Looks comfy
- Check out that steam punk rear end! This might be the world's best looking pumpkin. Also, as is the Bugatti way, notice how there's a bout twenty bolts holding the rear axle in place -- per side
