5.0 out of 5 stars
From Bugatti's Combination Horse Stable and Factory...,
By Theseus "theseus" (US of A) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bugatti Story (Hardcover)
"This is the inside story of Ettore Bugatti, a near genius in creating motor cars, who, without benefit of formal engineering or mechanical training, produced the world's most wanted cars in the first half of this century. From the brass-bound solid oak doors of his combination horse stable and factory came Bugattis that won 2,136 races between 1909 to 1927, Bugattis that traversed 10,000 miles of desert and jungle, and Bugattis of such luxury that only the ultra-rich could afford them."
"His inventive mind...produced more than 900 patents related to automobiles, railway engines, and aircraft." "He lived with the grace and air of a man born to the purple, yet labored at lathe or drawing board to put his ideas on wheels...." Finally, a huge part of the Bugatti mythos is the fact that he was an Italian immigrant who came to be intimately associated with the nationalistic racing blue of France. Hardcover, cloth over boards with dustjacket; 196 pp. Illustrated in b&w. Appendix I The 74 Types of Cars Built at Molsheim Appendix II: Jean Bugatti's Productions Appendix III: Ettore Bugatti's Yacht Appendix IV: Ettore Bugatti's Patents Concerning Speed-boats, Aircraft, and Machine-tools Appendix V: "Impressions of an Astonishing Factory in an Alsatian Village" (reprinted from a 1930 periodical)
