EDM 60 An Automobile, or Part Thereof

My drawing of this Type 37 Bugatti was inspired by the movie I watched recently about the life of Isadora Duncan. Her notorious death is not exactly a pet topic for Bugatti historians. As legend has it, she desired to buy one but could not afford it. She met a young auto mechanic who sold Bugatti cars and she asked him if he would join her for a test drive in what was either the Bugatti Type 35 or 37. According to oral tradition, her last words were: “Farewell, my friends, I am off to glory!” As the car drove off, she threw a long silk scarf around her neck, which entangled in one of the car’s open-spoked wheels. The heavy embroidered silk pulled instantly taut and snapped the dancer’s neck. This misfortune took place in Nice on September 14, 1927.
