Not Ranked
BinB, Oinie
One sits at the Blackhawk (might be a different year) across the floor from a Royale. Between these two cars, the rather small Atlantic and the one that only an elephant could serve righteously as the hood ornament, you see the genius that was Bugatti (father and son)--everything in relationship to the size so that you never know how big (or small) it is until you stand next to one--that to me IS design.
I love the spine of the Atlantic--a row of rivets that Evan would have an orgasm over. The droop of the side window--not to mimic the slope of the teardrop roof, but certainly emphasizing it--again, pure design for design's sake.
I rate the Atlantic up there with the paper clip, Wright's "Falling Water", the Panerai crown lock, etc.
