The two men preferred the challenge of making a driveable car in the incredibly short time of three months. They were fortunately helped by the Schlumpf Collection in Mulhouse and by old cars specialists. The plastic body was made thanks to the original molds kept in Mulhouse. The builders noticed a 6 centimeters gap between the left wing mold and the right wing one ! The front axle, the wheels and the mascot were made according to the original parts too. The tires were spare parts from the Schlumpf Collection. The rear passenger space was upholstered with a blue patterned fabric, close to the original and which was extremely hard to find, but the steering wheel is from an American GMC truck. The chassis is fully American: the car is based on a stretched and reinforced Cadillac chassis, with an automatic gearbox and a Chevrolet V8 engine. Cote and Julienne have made a good job by making fastly a replica which is hard to tell from the original (as long as you do not drive it). The car was bought for 800,000 French Francs by the production crew. http://www.bugattirevue.com/revue2/replicas.htm Now residing in the Sinsheim Auto & Technik Museum. -- Last edit: 2015-09-01 18:48:07
