It is, and they kept pushing the envelope, seeing their most recent model... What a brand.
pretty awesome :0
It is really beautiful car. I really like it. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure. I love these classic designs, very few brands still do close looking models, I am on the lookout for these!
I don't know much about cars before WWII, I'm just starting to get interested, especially at the design level, I love this Bugatti... and California seems the perfect place to drive this bolide.
