The Bugatti type 55 coupé is one of the Bugatti entries the open record knows by name and by date — in 1931, and by little else. That is not nothing: a name in the catalogue is where a car's story starts to be recoverable.
Where it sits
On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Chevrolet Suburban, the British Motor Corporation Austin 12/6, the Horch 450 convertible limousine. Its Bugatti stablemates include the Bugatti 57 Galibier and the Bugatti 8-cylinder line.
The money
There is no federal ownership record for the Bugatti type 55 coupé — it predates the complaint database or was never sold in the United States — so MotorJury publishes no running-cost figure for it. For a car of this age the price is set by the collector market and the condition of the individual example, not by a formula.
The record
The open record for the Bugatti type 55 coupé 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.
