44-Years-Owned 1932 Bugatti Type 49 Roadster

The 1932 Bugatti Type 49 Roadster is a rare and distinctive vehicle, one of approximately 470 examples produced between 1930 and 1934. First delivered in Nantes, France, this specific model, chassis number 49639, was originally fitted with Gangloff "Conduite Intérieure" sedan coachwork before being converted to its current roadster configuration by noted French coachbuilders Letourneur et Marchand. The Type 49 is the final iteration of Bugatti's range of touring cars, powered by a single-overhead-camshaft, eight-cylinder engine. This particular model has been owned by its most recent enthusiast for over four decades, having resided in Ryegate, Vermont since then. Despite its advanced age and history of long-term ownership, it remains an active listing on Bring A Trailer.
