THE CLASS ALWAYS WINS
Excellence at Rétromobile Paris 2020 auctions
The legendary "flagships" reached the highest numbers, both at Bonhams, and Sotheby's or Artcurial. The Bugatti model 55 1932 super sport, is one of the most beautiful cars of the famous brand. Bicolor black and ivory, it was produced in only 38 specimens. It differs from contemporary sports cars because it was coached by Giuseppe Figoni, an Italian from Piacenza, active since 1920 in France, where he was knighted of the National Order of Merit. This entrepreneur designer had an advanced style for the time. The rigid line of the bodywork replaced the curved and fluid one, in the wide “drop of water” mudguards"; he anticipated the modern aerodynamic shapes and equipped his cars with luxurious chrome finishes: soon, he created jewel-cars. The Bugatti model 55 has reached € 4.600.000 (Bonhams). The Mercedes Benz 500k Cabriolet A 1935 sold by Bonhams for € 1.600.000, glamorous "Great Gatsby" style, was designed by Friedrick Geiger, a German designer creator of some of the most beautiful cars of the 20th century. Another very rare German car, Bmw Glas Coupè Frua, was sold for € 209,300. At Sotheby's a 1958 BMW 507 series II was sold for € 1.996.250. It was designed to satisfy the most demanding customers, especially the American one. This car is one of the most beautiful creations of the German designer, of aristocratic origins, Albrecht von Goertz.
Artcurial brought a Ferrari 275 GTB 6 1965 to Paris for € 2.502.800. An absolutely unique racing Ferrari.
And the Porsche 906 1966 for € 1.730.600.
