 | The Bugatti Type 57 and later variants was an entirely new design created by Jean Bugatti, son of founder Ettore. Type 57s were built from 1934 through 1940, with a total of 710 examples produced. Type 57s used a twin-cam 3,257 cc inline 8 engine with 135 hp through a four-speed gearbox. It featured a solid axle and semi-elliptic leaf spring front suspension, live axle and quarter-elliptic leaf spring rear suspension, and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. Top speed was 153 km/h (95 mph). |
 Chassis no. 57589 is one of four Type 57 examples ordered by D’Ieteren in 1938. |  It is the only example in the three-seat body style. |

 | Extremely rare, highly original, exquisitely finished, and mechanically prepared, this example made $1.6m. |  |
