    I do not understand what you mean by the "other" real one. I believe that there were 3 real Atlantics made, plus the Aerolithe coupe, (which is the prototype with T57 style "flat" grille, rather than T57s style "pointed" grille)

    S/N ?? The Aerolithe

    57374 The Williamson car (This car sold at Sotheby's in 1973 for $59,000!!)

    57473 The Seydoux car

    57491 The Lauren car.

    In addition, there is the T51 GP car, #51133 that was rebodied in the 1930s in a similar style. The car is painted a dark purple/blue (!) and is currently in the Nethercutt Museum in Los Angeles

    There are also at least 3 or 4 Atlantic replicas; one of which is owned by Jay Leno, and is based on real Bugatti T57 parts..

    There were 4 Atlantics, one destroyed in train wreck, killing owner and his mistress, E. Koux was made at least 8 or 9 faux Atlantics on T57 chassis, Dubos body from t51 is not on that chassis either, 5113 has replica GP body now and the Dubos body is on another (I think replica) chassis

    Are you saying that there was another Atlantic in addition to the Aerolithe? Do you have a S/N?

    Thanks for the correction on the Dubos car.

    Thanks,
    Stu Schaller

    Dr. Stu,

    I believe Hil Raab owns one of the T51 'Atlantics'.
    As I'm sure you're aware, the consensus seems to be the Aerolithe as built does not survive today.

    Regards,
    Dave

    These were indeed the 4 Atlantics produced. The Aerolithe had 2 different successive bodies and with body no1 in 1935 had temporary serialnumber 57.331S and with body no2 had temporary serialnumber 57.103S. Body no1 was used for 57.453 (destroyed) and body no2 was used for 57.374. The chassis of 57.331S was later used for a standard production Atalante which was sold in May 1937. During the restoration of 57.374 in 2002-2003 stamps of no1 as well as no2 were found, where the no2 stamps were in different parts of the body.

    What I meant to say was "I remember seeing serial number 57374, owned by the late Mr. Williamson, win Concours on August 17, 2003." ;)

    I can not understand why someone could justify paying that sort of money for a replica. There are many genuine Ferrari's out there for this amount of cash?????
