    These also appear in the Memoirs of a Bugatti Hunter book by Raffaelli.

    In fact, these were taken at Huveaune stadium and raced by the Gueydon brothers.

    Top picture is Jean Gueydon with Bugatti 44596.

    this car had pretty much a stock chassis/running gear/drivetrain...with all the other junk welded/bolted on.....tho not common, it was not unusual to see a big bug, stripped of it's body used in such a manner...[nor other "classics" that at the time were used up and not worth fixing...i once had a 4 1/2 liter A- type invicta that had seen similar duty...and then abandoned.

    Shouldn't this be in the "Other French Car" section?

    Jacques was a racer driver
    And he drove so goddamned fast
    He never did win no checkered flag
    But he never did come in last
    Jacques was a race car driver
    He’d say el solo number one
    With a bocephus sticker
    On his type 57 he’d light ’em up
    Just for fun...
