The original Type 57C Bugatti Cabriolet, was especially designed for the Shah of Iran in 1939. Its companion, the original 1932/JS Duesenberg model was designed especially for the Maharajah of Jahore, with a stright-8 bhp engine which was capable of hitting 120 mph and features a classic hood, stream boat tail and a rumble seat. Both cars are considered by many to be the most elegant and sophisticated body styles ever made.
