Being 90 years old and winning the most prestigious Concours of Elegance in the world! No, he is not a film star with a glorious past who has become an icon despite the years and signs of age.
Instead, we are talking about a famous car from the 1930s, noble because it was owned by a king: Leopold III of Belgium, a charming young man interested in sports cars and a driver himself.
This car - the Bugatti Type 59 Sports - was created in 1934 for this ruler, with the black and yellow livery colors, those of the Belgian racing cars, and also the national flag.

Bugatti Type 59 Sports 1934 wins "Best of Show" at Pebble Beach

This superb automobile won first prize at none other than Pebble Beach 2024!  It was presented by the owner, Mr. Fritz Burkard of the Pearl Collection in Zug (Switzerland), as it is, almost a hundred years old, with the damage that time and long experience have left on its faded and rusty bodywork.
For the first time in the history of this famous Californian race, based on the aesthetics of vintage cars, the "Best of Show" award was awarded to an UNRESTORED (preserved) car, with a poor appearance, but functionality perfect.
Its market value exceeds ten million euros.
