1929 BUGATTI T44 Zio Gino #44477 GHIA

This Bugatti T 44 (# 44477) belongs today to the Sicilian Zio Gino. The body was made by Carrozzeria Ghia, founded in 1915 by Giacinto Ghia in Turin. Giacinto Ghia ran the company until his death in 1944. The brown side panels look like crocodile skin. But it's not real skin. This artificial crocodile skin effect was achieved using the triplex printing process. And this in 1929!
