![]() Today's car of the day is Hot Wheels Collectibles' 1939 Bugatti Type 57C VanVooren Cabriolet. ![]()
![]() ![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Bugatti Type 57 ![]() ![]() Sometime in 2010 or 2011, Hot Wheels lost the license to make Bugatti cars, and the ebay values of the Hot Wheels Veyron completely skyrocketed to triple digit prices. But the needle didn't even move for the other Hot Wheels Bugatti models, including this Collectibles / 100% series 1939 Bugatti which is a vastly superior collectible to the mainline Veyron. But to each his own; the whims of us collectors are unexplainable sometimes. ![]()

It's sad that the 2003 mainline release is probably worth more then this gem. I'm usually not into 50's and early cars, but this one is

This model has outstanding detail for 1/64 scale. HotWheels needs to launch some new versions of highly detail HW Collectible models. |

What a beauty! I agree with CarreraRSR's comment above - new models in this series would be greatly appreciated. |

Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

This right here is the epitome of Art Deco styling. I am impressed. |

The mainline Veyron is 4-5x more expensive than this beauty in the current market. That's just crazy. This was a $10-$15 car back when it was new, and can be bought fairly easily today for $10-$20 (it came in three colors). |

While this particular car wasn't part of it, I attended an Art Deco exhibit at the North Carolina Museum of Art in 2016. Here are the cars/bikes that were on display:![]() ![]() ![]() 1934 BMW R7 (prototype) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() 1941 Indian Model 441 ![]() 1935 Bugatti Type 57S Aérolithe (replica - the original is lost and presumed disassembled for its materials during World War II) ![]() 1930 Henderson KJ Streamline (rebuilt as shown in 1934, Henderson went out of business in 1931) ![]() ![]() 1936 Voisin C28 Clairière ![]() 1934 Ford Model 40 Special Speedster ![]() 1940 Tatra T87 ![]() 1936 Stout Scarab ![]() Taking a look at these masterpieces two things are apparent. 1. They're some of the most gorgeous cars ever made (well...aside from the Stout). 2. No Toyota Camry will ever be in an art museum.

I like them all (incredible period) and was especially drawn to the 1936 Stout Scarab! Almost looks contemporary in some way. |

Of course, you could conjecture that mechanically, there are no Toyota parts in that "Camry". |
