World's Most Valuable Car, the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, at The Mullin Automotive Museum

I was fortunate to have another opportunity recently to view the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic at The Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, California. All the cars in this museum are stunning. The 57SC Atlantic is on loan to the museum from its unnamed owner, who purchased the car for somewhere in the range of $30 to $40 million in 2010. Yes, this is the most valuable car in the entire world.

I attended a public showing of this unbelievable automobile in August 2010, and was fortunate enough to get some "alone with the car" time prior to the public being allowed into the exhibit, with just myself time and my trusty Pentax K10D DSLR camera with several high performance DGI (silent motor driven) Sigma, and Pentax lenses. With little to no one around me I was able to capture some priceless photos of the automobile sans people around the enclosure and rotunda there at the Mullin Museum at precisely 9:45AM on 08/10/2010, when the soft light filtering onto the 1936-7 Bugatti Tipo 57SC Atlantic was just sublime, and these special photos were the result.
