The Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) has invited the RROC’s Chesapeake Region and MBCA's Greater Washington Section to attend a special display of Bugatti automobiles at the Academy Art Museum in Easton, MD on Monday, February 17. This important exhibit, “Bugatti: Reaching For Perfection,” features five vintage Bugatti automobiles (two Grand Prix race cars, two Type 57 touring cars, and a miniature “Baby”) along with other automobile-related items from the North Collection of the Eastern Shore, Maryland. The exhibit showcases the creative passions of the Bugatti family beginning with patriarch Carlo Bugatti’s unique Art Nouveau furniture designs featured in international exhibitions in Europe, to his sons Rembrandt, known for bronze animal sculptures, and Ettore, who was drawn to an automotive design and manufacturing career. It was Rembrandt who designed the elephant sculpture in 1904, later chosen by Ettore, as the brand’s first mascot for the radiator cap on the Type 41 Royale.
Bus service to the museum is being planned. The likely pickup points will be in Annapolis (Jemal’s Bay 50 Shopping Center, 1544-1598 Whitehall Road, Annapolis) and at a TBD point near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge itself. Details on a boxed lunch ($~20?) will be announced. Of course, these options will be determined by your response.
Please note that museum admission is free of charge, and we plan on meeting at the museum entrance at 11:30 a.m. on February 17.
