On the onthulfeestje around Pebble Beach, Bugatti Jean-Pierre Wimille in addition to his spiritual father, the Type 57G Tank. Both cars are predominantly blue, the national racekleur of France at the time.

Even though Wimille since the end of the years ’40 death (he died in an accident during a qualifying session), his signature is featured on the tank and oil-fill lid, where he ingelaserd. In addition, we get the French tricolor against the stitching on the steering wheel and gearshift.
