For my next pic, I am proud to select one of the most expensive cars ever sold at auction.
In the Pre-War category, it's the Bugatti Type 41. Sometimes better known as the the Royale.

Quote:
Ettore Bugatti planned to build twenty-five of these cars, and sell them to royalty. But even royalty was not buying such things during the Great Depression, and Bugatti was able to sell only six. Today a Bugatti Royale is the ultimate status symbol - one of the biggest, rarest, most desirable cars in the world.
