1936 Bugatti Type 37 Cabriolet







 What this knob is for I have no idea




why are owners of these cars so unfamiliar with the controls and switches that they need a map and manual to make the lights work? If you value a car so, much you pay a million or 3 for it, wouldn't you be incredibly interested in knowing everything about it's use, it's gauges, switches, and options

one of 3 Corvettes of Briggs Cunningham's LeMans team of 1960, they won first in class with this trio







 how about this gauge cluster... why not make them this way from the factory? it's what the racers wanted, and isn't it what a sports car owner wants too?


 Anyone know about this unusual speedometer? With a clock on the inside... I don't recall ever seeing a 70mph speedometer before in a sports car, ditto ever seeing a speedometer with a clock in it. I've seen tachs and clock combos... anyway, odd gauge, if you know what the info on it is, please share. jbohjkl@yahoo.com







 cool little light to illuminate the car number
 Patina on the lettering.


Below is what another of the trio looked like. Thought you'd like to compare them.
