Bugatti Type 50 Profilee Coupe

This model is based on the Pocher Bugatti Type 50 Profilee Coupe and incorporates all of the working features of that kit, including working

crankshaft , pistons, camshafts, and valves, as well as the usual working doors, hoods, trunk lid and roll-up windows.  In addition the the

working steering and suspension of the kit, this model has been modified to have working throttle linkages, swing-out windshield, and

 pedal-activated brakelights.  In total, there were about 6 prototype Bugatti Profilee coupes erected on the Type 50 chassis. 

 Two of these remarkable cars survive, and one is currently on display at the Blackhawk Museum in Danville, California

which was the inspiration for this car.
