Earning a reputation as one of the finest internationally renowned classic automobile showcases in the US, the La Jolla Concours continues to attract discerning car enthusiasts from around the globe for a weekend of prestigious events.
The honored marque in 2022 has been awarded to Bugatti, a marque known for its relentless quest for perfection and innovation which has led to several groundbreaking moments in automotive history. The genius of Ettore Bugatti will be celebrated at this year’s La Jolla Concours as the show proudly welcomes the finest examples of the French marque. It is a can’t-miss collection ranging from classic to modern-day models that will cross off many car enthusiasts’ bucket lists.
Featured Car: Type 57S Bugatti
The Bugatti Type 57 and later interpretations, including the exceptional Atlantic and Atalante, was a leading innovation of Jean Bugatti. The type 57 was built from 1934 through 1940 with only 710 pieces produced. The Type 57S/SC variants are some of Bugatti’s most iconic cars and the La Jolla Concours d’Elegance offers a rare opportunity to see one of only 17 Atalante cars ever made. This Type 57S, chassis number 57828, is one of only 15 existing Atalante cars. It’s also one of only three examples that was bodied by Swiss coachbuilder Gangloff making it a can’t-miss piece in this year’s show.
