Type 57S Atlantic/Type 57SC Atlantic
Vehicle Model
A car produced by Bugatti. Thirteen were produced for model years 1937-1938.
Designed by Jean Bugatti, the bodywork is based on the Aérolithe show car.
The Aérolithe was built from aluminum and magnesium, two metals that could not be welded or brazed. The result was the external rivets along a seam down the middle of the body. The production versions were all aluminum, but the rivets were retained for aesthetics.
