 with a title like Salvage, if i was the owner of a Bugatti of that era , they sure wouldn't even have the right to stand aside of the car.. :lol:

 Type 57 pretty sure, but which one ? Possible Gangloff body...but the front bumper seems to me to be DIY;)

 Bodywork looks like a Type 57 Ventoux.

Bumper and lights match this example, probably the same car: /vehicle_38970-Bugatti-Type-57-Ventoux-1938.html

And probably chassis 57594: /vehicle_423288-Bugatti-Type-57-Ventoux-57594-1938.html

57594 as it appeared in 2010, with the same style bumper: Link to "rmsothebys.com" (the catalogue (page 182) makes no mention of a film career)

Salvage-1: the Bugatti Treasure

Over 10 years ago I was contacted by a gentleman who was asking details about the Bugatti in an episode of the US TV-series "Salvage 1", broadcasted on March 5, 1979.

The episode was called "the Bugatti Treasure", because of a treasure map which was found in a Bugatti. The Salvage 1 team finds this16th century map that supposedly points to the location of Cortez's treasure in the Mojave Desert. Most famous actor in the series is Andy Griffith.

At the time, nothing could be found about it, now recently I remembered this old request of which I can not find any details, no e-mail (I must have switched e-mail system several times since that original request), nor can I find the name of the gentleman who pointed me to the TV series in the first place.

Of course, searching for the episode now was easy, there is a lot of stuff on YouTube! Clicking the picture above will show you a small trailer. (Nobody uploaded the full episode yet!)

Question remains: Can anybody identify this Bugatti, to more detail than a T57 Ventoux??

Answer by Julien Dubrulle:

This car must be 57594.

Answer by Charles Fawcett:

The Bugatti shown here is definitely 57594.
It was owned by a gentleman who lived in Malibu, CA who was working in the movie industry, which probably accounts for it being used in the film..
There will be several pictures of 57594 in my Jean De Dobbeleer book that is scheduled to be published later this year.

BTW; 57594 is currently for sale at Graber Sportgarage , for those who want to make their own epsiode.
