Our Jim Palam visits one of the finest collections of classic French cars
in the world.
“For me, French automobiles of the 1920s and 1930s, top, represent the pinnacle of 20th century art and design,” said mega classic car collector Peter Mullin. As an avid collector, the preservation of these rolling sculptures for the enjoyment of future generations is both a responsibility and a pleasure. I relish the stewardship and preservation of their exciting histories.” Silver blue '36 Bugatti Type 57SC, above, is one of four built, won Best of Show at 2003 Pebble Beach, powered by supercharged straight eight.
'38 Dubonnet Hispano-Suiza H6C Xenia, above, won Best in Show at Goodwood
in 2009. Powered by an eight-liter Six, it rides on four-wheel independent
Hyperflex coil spring suspension.
Stunning '35 Voisin Type C25 Aerodyne, above, one of six built, took
Best of Show at Pebble Beach 2011.
The Mullin Automotive Museum, Oxnard, CA pays homage to art deco and the machine age – eras that produced exquisite art and magnificent automobiles. The museum is home to the finest historic French automobiles, from the Bugatti to the Voisin, as well as significant and representative decorative art from the 1920s and 1930s.
