Th century and has a glass roof with a riveted steel structure that was the state of the art in a period which was a fad for all technical innovations and has become one next to the Tower landmark Eiffel in 1930, he was the French automotive industry Cathedral which, as its climax with Marques as Bugatti, Delahaye, Delage or Voisin, whose names were proudly hanging from the ceiling while just show how they are in the museum today Paris was the center at the time art deco design and even fashion it may be today, and cars from all over the world were trampled French coachwork from clean lines Swiss French Gangloff, extraordinary design or Saoutchik Chapron, with flamboyant curves Figoni Falaschi After the second World war the automotive industry has changed a lot, as the automobile is deve bare a mass product rather than a luxury toy for the rich luxury cars made by hand and the body are not sold in sufficient quantities to keep companies alive, So most of them have disappeared in 50's or early 60's, leaving the French curves a short but exciting time Wherever a prize is awarded to a competition cars from that time are in the winner circle, and it is the center of the collection Mullin.
The most important mark of this era is undoubtedly Bugatti and so it is no surprise that several Bugattis are exposed Bugatti was famous for their successful run in both sports car racing and GP and known for beauty of their construction are said Ettore Bugatti was always anxious to manufacture components not only effective, but also to research that one can easily see when you look in the engine compartment with a polished firewall machine and block This approach handscraped crafts have been inherited from his father Carlo Bugatti, who was a famous creator of art nouveau furniture and its influence on Ettore is documented by a special display of Carlos furniture to the museum entrance.
The Bugatti Type 57 is the passenger car of the 1930s and many bodybuilders developed different body styles, but the most spectacular was a house design by the son Ettores John, the T57 SC Atlantic weight has always been a problem with race cars, new materials were tried for the body of the prototype, the so-called Aerolithe Electron as a magnesium alloy, it can not be welded, so that the two halves of the body had to be glued together giving the car the characteristic shape Although the car was a sensation at the Paris Motor Show in 1935 only 3 additional cars were built with this design alloy instead of electrons, two of which have survived and both won Pebble Beach in the past 57374 car on the chassis screen became famous in 2010 by selling a reported range of 35 million, making this the most car prev ETTER ever the car is loaned to the museum and was displayed after the museum opened in April 2011 and again during our visit in October, standing on a turntable in the middle of MUS eum always as flawless it was in 2003 when he won BoS Pebble another T57 was built coach Gangloff with a very attractive and rare body Aravis, and equipped with supercharger for delivery to runner Bugatti Maurice Trintignant This car chassis 57768 has also won numerous awards, for example the referendum at Villa Erba during the Concorso at Villa dґEleganza dґEste in 2006, but not all cars in the collection are restored contest state that the display covers the entire range of the barn is 100 point of green cars T57C chassis 57835 was constructed by Van Vooren very well to the design of the Atalante and is well preserved driving state and perhaps one of the T57 most original is due to the fact that it was well maintained throughout his life as original, but far from being able to drive, are the cars of the Schlumpf collection called reserve When famous collectors Fritz and Hans Schlumpf have bankrupt, their museum was supported by the french government, but beside the restored cars, the collection also had two reserve collections that were intended to restore a date by Schlumpfs one such reserve collections made part of the National Motor Museum in Mulhouse, but the other was part of a lawsuit the Schlumpf family against their expropriation after decades of standing in a barn in Malmerspach, cars were handed over to the widow Arlette and Fritz Schlumpfґs some of them were sold after his death in Mullin museum, where it was decided to leave them in their original state as a special display.
Worse still is the fate of the little Bugatti Brescia was in all car magazines in 2009, when he resurfaced the floor of Lake Maggiore were he spent the last 73 years after it was sunk by its then owner in because of tax problems the car was quit a sensation when it was sold in January 2010 for sale at Bonhams Retromobile in Paris Today, the car is kept and exhibited as a sculpture in its own room in the museum.
But there are a lot of the most important French brands that time that Bugatti and Mullin is well known for having one of the largest collections Neighbor As mentioned above, Peter and Merle Mullin won Pebble Beach Concours this year Voisin C25 Aerodyne with their This has never been only the second time, a neighbor had won there first in 2002 could be described as a special case because it was a modified chassis with characteristic changes in later life, but the aircraft is pure Voisin the design some might say this is not a stylish car, compared to some Delahaye and Delage, but it takes its charming technical design, with aviation elements combined with interior art deco Gabiel Voisin was an aircraft manufacturer before World War II and many of these concepts went into the construction of cars p read later As mentioned previously, this time was eager for all technical progress, even if 10 years after the flight of Charles Lindberghґs Atlantic aviation technology was sti ll a great theme ideas Some neighbors would have been in ahead of their time, but the BoS Pebble is also an honor to achieve this small business Although the C25 Aerodyne has not been exposed in October, seven other neighbors could be seen, including a 1923 C6 might Laborataire be the most radical design Neighbor ever to participate in a race.
The aviation theme is also very present in Dubonnet Hispano-Suiza Xenia which has a modified chassis Hispano displayed with André Dubonnetґs independent suspension and a body Saoutchik The small cabin is very inspired by the cockpits of fighter planes of the time.
Besides several Talbot-Lago, Delage and rare Peugeot Eclipse which has a retractable roof all metal, decades before it was reinvented two Delahaye 145 V12 are to mention the two cars started as pure racing cars entered by winning factory in Le Mans and the grand Prix de Pau It was a common practice at that time that the race cars were converted to street cars to the end of their racing career and rebodied the fashion of the time, this was not just done by Delahaye but by Alfa Romeo, so the new owner had the technology prize in a car built sports coach, in this case, the two cars were rebodied by Chapron.
This led us to the second floor that offers the collection of race cars Museum Several Bugatti, Delage, Talbot-Lago and Chenard Walcker be celebrated for the first win Le Mans never be displayed before a style pitlane Le Mans One star the museum was absent during our visit the Million Franc car was traveling and entered the contest SchloЯ Bensberg in Germany a few days earlier at a time when the victories in motorsport were a matter of national honor, a prize one million francs was set for the first French car to take back the speed record at Montlhéry This was achieved just in time for the new Delahaye 145 GP, which was also dominant in the GP season 1938 before the new supercharged 3 liter Mercedes silver arrows happened sharing Delahaye chassis with both cars on the first floor Chapron, my is remained in the GP configuration proudly wearing a tricolor painted on both sides.
A small section is devoted to the subsequent history of Bugatti EB110 with Italian and built several prototypes of the company, having been supported by Volkswagen From here you enter the living room with Bugatti within the period to relive the style of the 1930s, the district of the art deco museum experience can be imagined society Paris or some of the factory drivers standing at the bar, taking a glass of champagne after the race of their Bugatti.
The drive up from Los Angeles to San Francisco on Highway 1 is a very popular trip for all visitors of California as it takes Oxnard past, it is very good advice to check the opening hours usually 2 Saturdays a month and combine road trip with a visit to the museum the museum has a constant flow in its exhibitions, as some cars are usually somewhere in the world in a competition, a race or a rally, so the museum is always worth a repeat visit the selection of cars is unparalleled when you are interested in that time and the presentation is superb as you can walk around most of the barrier without cars because the opening hours limited, there are always people around to tell stories about each car and are ready to open a cover or door to show the car for es visitors.
For those who are not able to get there cars museums are also featured in several books 3 at that time photographed by Michael Furman, which are available in the museum shop on their website It will not be for able to see the cars in person, but he'll give an impression of what you're missing.
