Bugatti T57C Aravis Cab Letourner 39 Che by Carbone - Chromes
Bugatti T57C Aravis Cab Letourner 1939 Chevalier
This very elegant two seat tourer in the Aravis style was one of a handful built by Letourner & Marchand and one of only three known survivors. This may have been helped by its early celebrity owner Maurice Chevalier who owned the car for a number of years. Period photos of him at the wheel show the car with the folded roof exposed, rather than in a hood bag as seen on the model and this raises the line slightly in that area. The overall shape of the car looks good otherwise and the window areas are particularly fine, as is the interior detailing.
