History — Bugatti Type 50 & 50T
The Type 50 was Bugatti’s grand touring flagship of the early 1930s. It introduced a powerful 4.9‑litre DOHC straight‑eight derived from Bugatti’s GP experience and paired it with refined coachwork by Bugatti and top French carrosseries. The long‑wheelbase Type 50T (“Touring”) was the more commodious derivative favored for elegant cabriolets like the example modeled here.
Production numbers for the Type 50 family were limited (a few dozen in total), and each chassis was typically finished by a coachbuilder—hence the variety in fender lines, screen height, and deck treatments. Period cars often wore two‑tone blue schemes, the oval Bugatti grille, teardrop fenders, and delicately curved bumpers. Racing outings occurred with the short‑wheelbase cars, but the 50T’s mission was fast, luxurious travel.
