An ambitious Swiss car enthusiast took his freshly restored $30 million 1937 Bugatti on an epic 3,600-mile road trip from from Rhode Island to California.
Car collector Fritz Burkhard drove the 88-year-old red and black beauty from coast to coast to prove that vintage vehicles are meant to be driven and not just marveled at.
'I wanted to show that it's possible,' Burkhard explained his thought process to KSBW.
'If I can drive a pre-war Bugatti across your beautiful country, you can do it in a '60 car, '70 car, and just go out and enjoy and use the cars. They're made for driving.'
Burkhard kicked off his 11-day cross-country roadtrip from Audrain Automobile Museum in New Port, Rhode Island on July 31.
