"Last Word"-Bugatti Bequest
Friday, January 02, 2009JEFF YASTINE: Finally tonight, in the you never know what you'll find in the garage department. When Harold Carr died last year in England, his relatives were stunned to discover just what was behind his garage doors. It was a 1937 Bugatti type 57-S Atalante, one of only 17 ever made. And it was in mint condition, not driven since 1960, with just 26,000 miles on the odometer. This particular Bugatti made history in its time, the first car to go 130 miles an hour when others topped out at about 50. And Susie, the car will be cleaned and auctioned in Paris next month and could sell for as much as $8 million. If only I had held on to that Dodge Dart I had in high school 25 years ago, maybe I could get $4 million for that.
SUSIE GHARIB: You won't find things like that in my garage. I'll tell you that right now.
