The Type 56 was never intended for serial production, but popular demand in the form of his customers’ urging convinced Ettore to reconsider and build the little electric car.

 1936 Bugatti Type 57 Stelvio
Coachwork by Gangloff

1936 Bugatti Type 57 Stelvio sn-57442 Coachwork by Gangloff

Chassis: 57442 Engine: 57442 3,257 CC DOHC Inline 8-Cylinder Engine Single Stromberg UUR-2 Carburetor 135 BHP at 5,000 RPM 4-Speed Manual Gearbox 4-Wheel Hydraulic Drum Brakes Front Solid Axle with Semi-Elliptical Leaf Springs and Shock Absorbers Rear Live Axle with Semi-Elliptical Leaf Springs and Shock Absorbers

Unveiled in 1934, the Type 57 is widely regarded as a masterpiece from the hand of Jean Bugatti. Designed to replace the popular Type 49, the new Bugatti was powered by a magnificent 3.3-liter twin-cam straight-eight engine and represented the ultimate in automotive performance and design. Bugatti continually refined the Type 57 throughout its production run resulting in three distinct series of chassis. The second-series chassis – introduced in 1936 and underpinning the car presented here – featured a strengthened rear axle, cross-braced frame, rubber engine mounts, and upgraded brakes, among other improvements.

The history of this Type 57, chassis 57442, can be traced back to September 24, 1936, when it was invoiced to Monestier, the official Bugatti agent in Lyon, France. According to Barrie Price’s definitive book, Bugatti 57: The Last French Bugatti, this car was originally equipped with engine no. 310 and Labourdette Cabriolet coachwork.

As recorded in several Bugatti registries, the first owner of 57442 was the celebrated French novelist, literary critic, and journalist Gabriel d’Aubarède, who co-founded Fortunio magazine in 1914. It is believed that M. d’Aubarède owned the Type 57 for only a brief period; by November 1937, it was offered for sale by Gaston Docime, the Bugatti agent in Neuilly-sur-Seine. The Type 57 was stored in Nice throughout WWII and was sold in the late 1940s to M. Goldberg. Around the time of his acquisition, the engine seized and the car was taken to Paris for a mechanical overhaul. Presumably, it was during this process that the original engine was replaced with the current unit, which is stamped with the chassis number rather than a conventional engine number.

Also around this time, the original Labourdette coachwork was replaced with a Stelvio body constructed by Gangloff of Colmar. One of Bugatti’s oldest collaborators, Gangloff was a prolific supplier of coachwork for the Type 57, specializing in the construction of the elegant, open Stelvio and Aravis body styles.
