For the past 50 years, the name Corvette has been associated with Chevrolet’s top of the line sports car. 6 generations and more than 1.5 million Corvettes later, the dynasty is still alive with the current Corvette, the C6, a fierce sports car.
Yet in the beginning, the C1 was a simple roadster. The standard engine was the Blue Flame inline 6 and was more a cruising car than a real performer. The C2 took the sports car image, with engine powers ranging from 250 hp to 435 “official” hp on the 1967 Tri-Power V8.
The Corvette we are offering for sale today is one of the third evolution of the C1 generation, and probably the C1’s most famous 4 headlights design. This specific design, sold 1958-1960, saw numerous upgrades from the previous versions. Some more symbolic than others, such as the factory-installed seatbelts (they previously were dealer-installed), a new interior design and the presence of a glove compartment.
The Corvette we are happy to offer for sale today is a very clean example of a 1959 model. This Tuxedo Black car is one of 9,670 Corvette produced this year and one of 1,594 cars chosen in this color. Equipped with the standard 283ci V8 engine good for 230 hp, this particular Corvette received with the optional 4-speed manual transmission.
An older restoration, this Corvette has only been driven 17,000 miles since it was completed, and only 92,000 miles since it exited the St. Louis factory. Since we purchased the car, we decided to undertake extensive work to bring it to concourse level. The paint is brand new, so is most of the interior (carpets, door panels), most of the chrome parts and the soft top. The engine was fully serviced and works faultlessly.
It is available in France with its Spanish registration.

Superb 1928 Cadillac LaSalle double Phaeton. The vehicle was restored some time ago and is in perfect cosmetic and running condition. The bodywork in red with Bordeaux cowls is magnificent, the soft top in sandy Alpaca with a chromed frame and varnished wood. The upholstery is in black leather. The vehicle prior to being imported to Europe was the "Best of show". Its eight cylinder engine is very smooth and is powerful enough to forget the vehicle’s overall weight.
Available in France with French historic vehicle registration.

This Buick Roadmaster is probably the most beautiful Buick in the whole Europe! Acquired by the current owner from the Blackhawk museum, San Francisco in 1990. The car has undergone years of uncompromising restoration. The car was entirely restored by the team ATS in France at a total cost of 210,000 EUR. The upholstery in particular attests to the quality of this restoration; it is truly exceptional and the leather used is conform with the original Fisher Body Number Plate (cost ca. 20,000 EUR). The car is all matching numbers and original. Original Flight Pitch Dynaflow transmission. Starts with just a pressure on the accelerator pedal, perfectly working Wonderbar radio. This example is equipped with all the options and even the air conditioning works very well. A true collector’s piece.

In the early 1930s, the Bugatti Type 35, the dominant force in Grand Prix racing since 1924, is already starting to become old, obsolete and is no longer competitive against the new generation of Grand Prix racers. In dire need of a replacement, Ettore Bugatti presents in 1931 the all-new Grand Prix Bugatti, the Type 51.
Even though the two cars look very much alike, they are fundamentally different in terms of engineering. The new 2300cc straight 8 engine with double overhead camshaft of the Type 51 racer developed a strong 160 bhp when the most powerful Type 35, the T35B, could only crank out 140 bhp thanks to the use of a supercharger.
The fate of the Type 51 in Grand Prix racing wasn’t up to par with the expectations of its creators. With the competition of Government-backed Italian and German brands, the Type 51 never managed to shine like its predecessor. With a single win in its career at the 1931 French Grand Prix, it ended the line of pre-war Bugatti racers.
With approximately 40 units built, the Bugatti Type 51 is rare and exceptional.
We are happy to offer for sale this beautiful Argentinian recreation of this pre-war racer.
