  • Mullin Museum 2013 June July 2013 Mullin Museum by Scott Couchman
    Mullin Museum 2013 June www.ocPanteras.com July 2013 Mullin Museum by Scott Couchman. Team Pantera of Orange County enjoyed a first class visit to a first class venue of French classics at the Mullin Automobile Museum on June 8th, 2013. Assembled by Peter W. Mullin, this collection is his passion. The museum's website declares, “For me the French automobiles of the 1920s and 1930s represent the pinnacle of 20th Century art and design. 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.” - Peter W. Mullin. Car Collection – With a total of over 350 cars, the museum continually rotates to display approximately 60 vehicles at any one time. The most 'common' marks are Bugatti, Avion Voisin, Delahaye, Hispano-Suiza, and Talbot-Lago, plus an upstairs mezzanine of LeMans race cars. In particular, it includes the worlds largest collection of Voisins. The heart of the collection is the: • 1939 Delahaye Type 165 Cabriolet, and one of only 6 12-cylinder Type 165s that was built to represent France at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. • 1935 Avions Voisin C25 Aerodyne, 'Best of Show' winner at the 2011 Pebble Beach Concours D'Elegance. This magnificent car was first presented at the 1934 Paris Salon de l' Automobile. • 1934 Avions Voisin C27 Grand Sport Cabriolet, constructed in 1934 with a special low chassis C27 for the Shah of Persia. • 1936 BUGATTI Type 57SC Atlantic, the 2003 Pebble Beach 'Best of Show' award winner.

  • August 2016 Volume 3 Issue 8
    August 2016 Volume 3 Issue 8 Editorial Comments: With summer coming to an end be sure to check out the loaded fall season we have planned for the balance of 2016. There are more things to do and events than ever. Alfa Romeo Selection of the Month for August 2016. Car Name: 1939 Alfa Romeo 8C 2900B Lungo Touring Spider – not your average spider! Alfa Article: The Montreal Finally gets Respect Note: Curtisey Road & Track The Alfa Romeo Montreal Is Cooler Than Most Ferraris The Montreal is probably the greatest oddball of the seventies. A friend of mine has a beautiful black Alfa Romeo Montreal. He calls her Lukrécia, and the car works as flawlessly as such a machine can—because it lives at Alfarium, a shop where they can deal with its dry-sump 2.6 liter V8's crazy SPICA fuel injection and all the wiring that wasn't quite finished at the factory. That's why I trust them with my Autobianchi, a slightly less complex beast. Lukrécia even made it to the pages of Petrolicious before, but now, it was time for photographer/illustrator TJ Grewal's beautiful blue Montreal to become their latest star. TJ ended up buying the first Montreal he ever saw—importing it from Italy—and as somebody who spends a lot of time in his studio appreciating the details of such cars, he couldn't be happier about getting this Bertone classic. Alfa Romeo built less than 4000 Montreals in the middle of the oil crisis, naming the production version of the concept car after the Canadian Expo it was made for.

  • The Trojan Horse: Imported Automobiles
    CHAPTER 5 suggested citation: Medrano-Bigas, Pau. The Forgotten Years of Bibendum. Michelin’s American Period in Milltown: Design, Illustration and Advertising by Pioneer Tire Companies (1900-1930). Doctoral dissertation. University of Barcelona, 2015 [English translation, 2018]. THE TROJAN HORSE: IMPORTED AUTOMOBILES In the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the furor for bicycles as a personal and economical means of transport led to the invasion of the French market by English and American firms—leading to fierce commercial competition with the country’s own industries—resulting in the collapse of 1898. In the early stages of the new century the full development of the European automobile industry and in particular the French sector—with the inseparable development of the tire—produced a similar effect. However, this time it was the American market that was invaded by imported European vehicles, pre- dominantly from France. 1. Transatlantic travel on wheels Between 1890 and 1891 the first French vehicles marketed by Peugeot—one of the major bicycle manu- facturers—and Panhard et Levassor, appeared on the scene and incorporated the internal combustion engine developed by the German Gottlieb Daimler. French and German investments in technology, which would be imposed on the rest, was based on gasoline-powered engines and collided with the English and North American options, diversified between vapor, electric and gas-powered automobiles. Production data from the United States in 1899 show that there were 2,500 vehicles—about 80% of which used electric or steam engines—manufactured by around 30 companies. Between 1900 and 1901, France was by far the world’s largest automobile producer.

  • UNCLE WICK Written by Gabe Delahaye
    UNCLE WICK Written by Gabe Delahaye EXT. DUBAI - NIGHT The glittering skyscrapers of oil rich Dubai loom over the Arabian sea. We pass through them and down the coast... ...to a PALATIAL ESTATE: luscious green gardens in the middle of the desert, an olympic-sized swimming pool, ARMED GUARDS lining the roof and patrolling the perimeter... We push into... INT. LIBRARY - PALATIAL ESTATE - DUBAI - CONTINUOUS House music thuds in the background. There is a party happening at the house, but this BRASS AND LEATHER LIBRARY is where serious business happens. ANGLE ON: an IMPERIOUS CRIME LORD sipping tea at the head of a massive antique table, surrounded by his HENCHMEN. This is HAMZA (60s) head of “The Nizam,” a league of assassins. HAMZA We’re not having this discussion again. The peace with Skalnikoff and The Colony has been to everyone’s financial benefit. They take the lion’s share of western assignments, but the Nizam controls the east, and with it-- TARIK This isn’t peace. This is Skalnikoff waiting for our guard to drop, so he can strike. If you don’t come for him, he’ll come for you, father. ANGLE ON: TARIK (30s) at the opposite end of the table. He has the bearing of an ungrateful prince: controlled by his father and desperate to take his place. HAMZA I admire your ambition, my son, but you still have much to learn. In the background, the CLUB MUSIC cuts out and we hear SCREAMS. The men at the table perk up, on high alert. A HENCHMAN peaks out the window, shakes his head to signal: the roof is empty.

  • Delahaye Jeep Story
    DELAHAYE JEEP STORY The Delahaye story is important in helping to understand why Hotchkiss ended up manufacturing jeeps for the French army up to 1966 based on the WW2 Willys MB. After the war the French army was re- established with vehicles that had become surplus to US requirements. Although many were in ‘war- torn’ condition there was a plentiful supply of spares available for them and they were cheap. The quality and quantity of WW2 jeeps was improved by the government workshops of E.R.G.M. at La Maltournйe near Paris. In 1946 that they started rebuilding worn out jeeps some of which had been recovered as scrap vehicles abandoned in France. The second step came in 1947 when, despite the poor economic conditions and shortages, the French army announced an ambitious programme to replace its WW2 stock with a new generation of French designed and built vehicles. The range was to include a ј tonne 4x4, a larger ѕ tonne 4x4, a 1.5 tonne 6x6, a 3 tonne 6x6, a 6 tonne 6x6 and a 12 tonne 8x8 tractor unit. Delahaye took on the development of a new jeep while their long time rivals at Hotchkiss developed the larger ѕ tonne 4x4. Whilst Hotchkiss' prototype ѕ tonne 4x4 ended up remarkably like the Dodge it was replace, Delahaye’s jeep made a giant technological leap forward. The prototype ‘Delta’ was developed during 1948 with both military and agricultural markets in mind and it was ready for inspection by the next year. The military version then underwent several revisions in design as it was tested between1949 – 1950.

Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Archival Collection 26 Title: Karl E. Ludvigsen papers, 1905-2011. Creator: Ludvigsen, Karl E. Call Number: Archival Collection 26 Quantity: 931 cubic feet (514 flat archival boxes, 98 clamshell boxes, 29 filing cabinets, 18 record center cartons, 15 glass plate boxes, 8 oversize boxes). Abstract: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers 1905-2011 contain his extensive research files, photographs, and prints on a wide variety of automotive topics. The papers reflect the complexity and breadth of Ludvigsen’s work as an author, researcher, and consultant. Approximately 70,000 of his photographic negatives have been digitized and are available on the Revs Digital Library. Thousands of undigitized prints in several series are also available but the copyright of the prints is unclear for many of the images. Ludvigsen’s research files are divided into two series: Subjects and Marques, each focusing on technical aspects, and were clipped or copied from newspapers, trade publications, and manufacturer’s literature, but there are occasional blueprints and photographs. Some of the files include Ludvigsen’s consulting research and the records of his Ludvigsen Library. Scope and Content Note: The Karl E. Ludvigsen papers are organized into eight series. The series largely reflects Ludvigsen’s original filing structure for paper and photographic materials. Series 1. Subject Files [11 filing cabinets and 18 record center cartons] The Subject Files contain documents compiled by Ludvigsen on a wide variety of automotive topics, and are in general alphabetical order.

    MULLIN AUTOMOTIVE MUSEUM TO EXHIBIT 10 CARS AT 2012 RÉTROMOBILE SALON IN PARIS, FRANCE FEBRUARY 1-5 Renowned Southern California Museum to Display Significant Automobiles at France’s Largest Exhibition of Classic and Antique Vehicles Oxnard, Calif. (December 19, 2011) – The Mullin Automotive Museum, a Southern California institution dedicated to the preservation of French Art Deco era art and automobiles, today announced that it is bringing 10 automobiles from the museum’s extraordinary collection to Paris, France, for the 37th annual Rétromobile exhibition February 1-5. Established in 1976, Rétromobile is France’s largest exhibition of classic and antique automobiles, celebrating the history of the automobile. Each year, the prestigious five-day event attracts as many as 90,000 visitors. With only 400 vehicles selected to participate at Rétromobile, it is a rare opportunity for the Mullin Automotive Museum to have so many automobiles on display at the event. The Mullin Automotive Museum is bringing some of the most historically significant vehicles from its collection of prewar coachbuilt French automobiles including but not limited to, the 1936 Bugatti Type 57SC Atlantic, 1934 Voisin C-25 Aerodyne and the 1938 “Million Franc” Delahaye Type 145 V12 racer.

  • 80 Years Ago – Bugatti Wins 24 Hours of Le Mans
    80 years ago – Bugatti wins 24 Hours of Le Mans MOLSHEIM 18 06 2019 IN 1939, A BUGATTI TYPE 57 C TECHNICALLY CLOSE TO THE PRODUCTION CAR SURPRISES IN LE MANS It´s one of the most famous and toughest endurance races in the world: the 24-Hours of Le Mans in France. It is the birthplace of legends. Exactly 80 years ago, on the 18th of June 1939 two Frenchman were victorious with their French race car: Jean-Pierre Wimille and Pierre Veyron in a Bugatti Type 57 C Tank. Incidentally, Bugatti would remain the reigning champion for the next ten years. 50 drivers entered the race in eight different categories, but only 42 would actually start the race. 80 years ago, the 24-Hours of Le Mans were already an outright manufacturer’s battle, although the race did not belong to any racing series back then. The competition was tremendous: 25 vehicles alone came from France, with famous brands like Delahaye, Delage and Talbot. On the starting grid were Adlerwerk and BMW from Germany, Great Britain was represented Aston Martin, Morgan, Riley, MG and Singer and from Italy Alfa Romeo. Bugatti went to the race with great enthusiasm. The previous year, the French car maker had had to renounce their start in the prestigious race due to technical problems. This year, however, with the 16thedition of the Type 57, everything was working. Under the streamlined body of the Type 57 race version there was a nearly series production chassis of the Type 57 C, developed by Jean Bugatti, the brilliant engineer and son of l Bugatti founder Ettore.
