In 1985 - the vehicle came to be owned by John Mozart - a renowned collector in California. At the end of 1995 - he initiated a complete restoration of the car. The roadster re-emerged as a stunning beauty in a dark blue finish and won the much-coveted "Best of Show" award at the 1998 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. CMC has replicated the Mozart car in its contemporary gorgeous appearance as a high-end model of the first class.
The Corsica (#57593) is mounted on the same type of chassis (57S) as is the Bugatti Atlantic 1938. However - in addition to the one-of-a-kind elegance of its art-deco body designed by Eric Giles in consultation with Jean Bugatti - the Corsica Roadster also features a one-of-a-kind interior: crocodile-hide upholstery. In the September issue of Bugantics published in 1938 by Bugatti Owners' Club - Colonel Giles - who had just had the Corsica coach-built and become its first owner - reminisced the birth of the car. Among the various features that were held to be the making of this special beauty - he included a crocodile interior.
