      Love to see that! In the states there are similar stories. Nevada City California was a classic Victorian mining town until a fire destroyed much of it. Rebuilt in art nouveau. Now that’s weird! Old west mining town with scores of Art Nouveau buildings cast in concrete. Santa Barbara was leveled by an earthquake and was mostly rebuilt in California Mission style. The histrionic buildings rebuilt or left as ruins. But what a beautiful city! All planned and built to a design sparing no expense. Just beautiful.

The french national car museum in Mulhouse with 130+ Bugatti’s is fantastic. I believe today’s show had a few unrestored cars from them that you just past way to fast with your camera.

      Hi! Yes, oops on the Tatra. Part of the Citron collection, I guess they sold Tatra at Citron dealers. The Mulhouse in Alsace is (I think) perhaps, the worlds best auto museum. These are private collections. We are going to follow up on the Tatra in an upcoming show. One day we will see the Mulhouse. Shame I was not into autos what I was a student in Paris back in 72.

      @@ToyManTelevision The car collection did not open to the public until 1982. The Schlumpf brothers had some financials troubles back in 1976, and the Alsace region took ownership of the collection for partial bailout of the brothers financial turmoils, then the region put the collection at the French National Historic Registry to protect it from being dispersed. I had a chance to visit it in 1990 while in the military and it was quite an experience. the Schlump pieces at the Peter Mullin museum come from the the 5 dozen cars that Arlette Schlump, the widow of Fritz Schlump, got back from the museum after some fierce legal battle in 1998.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  5 років тому

      Peter tried to buy the entire Schlumph collection for years. Not sure what the offers were but the intent was to keep them in the area. But at some point these cars were sold. As I got the story, not at all sure on this, the Schlumph Brothers somehow kept these. But they were still in the old building the Schlumph had the entire collection in before Alsace started removing them. They have photos of the collection when it was basically just these cars. HOWEVER, in the photo are some real finds, mostly race cars, that Peter was not able to acquire.

    I'm a little confused about the 1936 Bugatti Atlantic you show at 4:12. In every other video I've seen, Mullin's Atlantic is center stage at the Museum on a rotating podium, and it's a light sky blue color. This one in your video is light silver with no traces of blue and is displayed off to the side against a wall. does he own two Atlantics? did he have his Atlantic repainted from light blue to silver?
    Oh, BTW, in searching for pics of this car to see if I could answer that quesiton myself, it (that is the light blue one) appears it was bought in 2010 by Rob Walton of the Walmart Waltons, and then later became co-owned by Mullin.
    **edit** I found another video with a closeup of the informational plaque, which indicates the Atlantic "was purchased by an anonymous donor" and "is on loan to the Mullin Auto Museum". I would assume by Rob Walton is the anonymous donor referred to.

    • @ToyManTelevision
      @ToyManTelevision  4 роки тому

      Hi. As I heard it Walton and Mullen own it together. It is a very lite blue silver. Same car. It moves around. Mullen has 5 spaces. New one in London. But a doubt the Atlantic will ever get there. We saw it in the Mullen gallery in the Peterson museum in LA. More often it’s at the Mullen museum in Oxnard. But also at Mullen’s gallery at his office of at his home.
