Bugatti: 1927 36A DJ Via Tera Prototype. The Third of three actual photographs that are known to exist of the original car sporting decals, numbers, and a Canadian flag. This photo is Believed to have been taken in the early 1970's and was found at a yard sale in Nyack NY in 2004. It is rumored that Jacobs had the car shipped back to Canada for the the Canadian Rally in 1957. However no record of it having been entered in the rally exits. Yet shipping logs do indicate that a 1927 Bugatti was documented as entering Canada in April 1957. What's confusing is the car was back in GB by 1970 yet the photo was found under a pile of post cards at a garage sale in Nyack NY in 2004 still sporting the Canadian Rally Decales.
