A Trip To The Mulhouse Car Museum

 »  »  »

If you're a classic cars fan, the Mulhouse (France) car museum is definitely a place you have to visit. If was founded by brothers Hans and Fritz Schlumpf back in 1978 and it houses vehicles dating back to 1878. Out of more than 500 cars, the Mulhouse museum, which is called the "Cite de l'Automobile", features around 130 Bugatti models, including a very special Veyron, called the Blue Purple Concept. The museum also holds around 30 one-off models, including the Coupe Napoleon, which was the prototype for the original Bugatti Royale. To get an idea about the cars you'll be able to see in Mulhouse, we have to tell you that the Coupe Napoleon is estimated at around 36 million EUR. The museum has on display some of the first cars ever manufactured, including an 1893 Benz Victoria and an 1878 Jacquot.

Here are some of the cars featured by the Mulhouse museum: a 1955 Alfa Romeo Super Berlina 1900, a 1938 Arzens Cabriolet "La Balene", a Mercedes 300 SLR, and a 1923 Bugatti Biplace Course Type 32.

Very special thanks to our friend Carmen for the photos.
