New Exhibit at the Mullin Automotive Museum Presents the Rarest and Most Beautiful Cars From Preeminent French Coachbuilders

Titled “L’époque des Carrossiers: The Art and Times of the French Coachbuilders,” the exhibit will open on April 14, 2018 and showcase striking examples of hand-built coachwork on some of the most revered and acclaimed cars in the world, including the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic by Jean Bugatti, the 1939 Delahaye Type 165 Cabriolet by Figoni and Falaschi, 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS ‘Goutte d'Eau' and more

The Mullin Automotive Museum today revealed that the “crown jewels” of its collection will return to the museum as part of its upcoming exhibit, which will debut to the public on Saturday, April 14. Entitled “L’époque des Carrossiers: The Art and Times of the French Coachbuilders,” this new display will showcase the finest and most renowned sculpture, artifacts and vehicles from the Mullin Museum’s permanent collection, each representing the skill and unparalleled craftsmanship of the most esteemed French master coachbuilders.

The Era of Coachbuilding was marked by elegantly-designed and hand-crafted automobile bodies that were commissioned by society’s most prominent members, using artisans and visionaries to craft bespoke works of rolling art. “L’époque des Carrossiers” will explore the greatest vehicles of this genre, highlighting the works of preeminent French builders such as Bugatti, Citroen, De Villars, Figoni and Falaschi, Henri Chapron, Henri Labourdette, Million, Guiet & Cie., Pourtout, Jacques Saoutchik, Vanvooren, and Gabriel Voisin.

This exhibit will mark the return of some of the museum’s most lauded vehicles. Guests will instantly recognize the 2018 “Best of the Best” winner—the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, which was designed by Jean Bugatti, as well as the 1937 Talbot-Lago T150-C SS ‘Goutte d'Eau' (teardrop). The teardrop was designed by Joseph Figoni and was named “Best of the Best” in 2016.

In addition to this prize of the Mullin collection, museum patrons will find other Concours-winning vehicles such as the 1938 Dubonnet Hispano-Suiza H6B “Xenia” by Jacques Saoutchik, the revolutionary 1934 Voisin Type C27 Aérosport Coupe, the 1939 Delahaye Type 165 Cabriolet by Figoni and Falashci, and many more.

“L’époque des Carrossiers” will open to the public on April 14, 2018. To purchase tickets or learn more about the Mullin Automotive Museum, visit www.MullinAutomotiveMuseum.com.
