$30-million Bugatti goes on display
If you're dying to see the record-breaking Bugatti that sold in May, now you have a chance. The 1936 beauty that recently sold for more than $30 million went on display this month at the Mullin Automotive Museum in Oxnard, Calif. The museum says the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic is one of only three ever made and was first purchased by Lord Victor Rothschild of London. The museum estimates the Bugatti will be displayed a couple months.
