Some cars leave a paper trail; the Bugatti type 49 coach left a name, a year — 1933 — and a place in Bugatti's list. What follows is what can be said with a source behind it.
Its place in the line
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Suburban, the Tatra 75, the Mercedes-Benz 380. Nearby in the Bugatti catalogue sit the Bugatti 57 Galibier and the Bugatti 8-cylinder line.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Bugatti type 49 coach has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
The record
The open record for the Bugatti type 49 coach carries no verified engine, output, weight or price yet. MotorJury does not fill gaps with guesses; this entry gives the model a home in the catalogue and grows as sourced specifications and photographs arrive. Corrections: corrections@motorjury.com.
