Two pictures found on the wall of a small 'carrossier' in Cervon, France, halfway Paris and Lyon. They were found after the death of the man in the photo, Mr. Marcel Rousseau, by his son, who never knew his father ever owned a Bugatti. On the back is written: Bugatti type 38, with modified chassis and rebodied in the style of Marcel Rousseau 1952. Based on the strange firewall, crude steering support and seating arrangement one can wonder what the plan of Mr. Rousseau was. Any suggestion is welcome.
The son - also a carrossier - would very much like to know if the car is still around. Of course a very small chance and very hard to say based on this photo. But perhaps-perhaps somebody remembers having seen other photos of the "Rousseau Special"
