About the Item
This rare original 1936 Bugatti catalogue offers a glimpse into the golden age of one of the most prestigious marques in automotive history. Published at the height of Bugatti’s influence, the catalogue proudly bears the company’s legendary slogan: “Le Pur-Sang de l’Automobile”—the thoroughbred of the automobile world.
Issued by the Bugatti factory in Molsheim, then part of France’s Alsace region, this catalogue was both a technical brochure and a luxury object. It showcased the elegance, innovation, and mechanical superiority that defined models like the Type 57, Type 46, and Type 50—vehicles renowned for their seamless blend of engineering precision and artistic refinement.
The catalogue’s layout reflects the marque’s refined identity, with clean typography, elegant composition, and detailed illustrations or photographs of Bugatti’s iconic chassis and coachwork. It was as much a statement of taste as it was a commercial tool—intended for an elite clientele that viewed a Bugatti not simply as transportation, but as a work of art.
A tangible artifact from the interwar years, this 1936 catalogue captures the spirit of Ettore Bugatti’s vision—where performance met perfection, and the automobile was elevated to an object of beauty. Collectors and enthusiasts regard it today not only as a testament to automotive excellence but also as a symbol of French industrial and artistic pride on the eve of modern motoring.
