At Fort Lauderdale, on April 7, this 2003 Delahaye USA Bugnaughty Boattail Speedster is heading to the auction block through RM Sotheby's and expected to go for $225,000.
You like or you don't... But the Delahaye Bugnaughty seems to be Art-Deco car with all its influence to many cars of the 1930's, Auburn, Bugatti and Delahaye. The design came from Chip Foose who designed a fiberglass body in 1999, the Deco Rides Boattail Speedster.
This is homage to the Delahaye 135 with the fully enclosed fenders, to the Bugatti Type 57 for the the steel grille and on the top of the hood, the ornament of the Hispano Suiza(very nice).
The Delahaye Bugnaughty comes with 5.0 liter Ford V8 engine with automatic transmission. Love or hate ???
