Help Identify this T44 (or T40?)
Benny Graf-Saner is looking into the history of the car pictured here. According to a mail he recieved from Mister Nicolas Guhring (EBA member, owner of the picture), this Bugatti is not a Type 40, but 44713. The magazine "Automobilia", N° 62, page 39 has published this information.

Comment by Dick Ploeg: This is clearly a (cheaply?) rebodied Bugatti and it does seem to include (recycled?) body components of other cars. One item I can positively identify are the bonnet (hood) side grilles, which come from a Salmson S4 DA (1937/1938) or a late model S4 D.
One other observation: If indeed it is a type 44, then it appears to have its chassis shortened?

It would be nice to include the source of this question, which was copied directly from my site:
http://www.bugattipage.com/bqueeste.htm. (original question posted in 2003!)

There are a load of other, and newer, questions there as well. Feel free to send me answers to any of the many questions presented there.

I am particularly interested in the last one posted, with the red fenders!
