    Not “a” Bugatti Royale Esders Roadster, THE Bugatti Royale Esders Roadster. Built to order for French clothing magnate Armand Esders. Notice it has no headlamps as Monsieur Esders did not like to drive after dark. This was the second Royale built, chassis 41111. Esders sold the car to a French politician, Raymond Patenotre, who had it rebodied in a Coupe de Ville style by coachbuilder Henri Binder. A replica of the Esders Roadster was later built using many original Royale parts by the Schlumpf Brothers.

    My uncle’s turd brown 1975 Chrysler New Yorker was like driving a flattened school bus. Tacking through traffic in this thing would be as agile as the QE2.
