Park Ward Royale
The Bugatti Royale was one of the
most opulent and uncompromising cars ever created. The car itself
was enormous, and could weigh up to 4 tons depending on the
coachwork. Its straight eight engine measured 784 cubic inches.
The chassis price was $30,000--a staggering amount of money at the
time.
Bugatti stated that he would only
sell the car to royalty, although this stipulation was relaxed as
production commenced. He did refuse to sell the car to King Zog of
Albania, claiming that "the man's table manners are beyond belief!"
