The Bugattis sold to Fritz Schlumpf in 1964 for a mere $84,000 or about $590,000 in todays money. I had no idea so many cars in that famous collection came from the USA, or the Shakespear fishing reels connection. The photos speak of a simpler (and cheaper) time for collectors. Thirty Bugattis for $590K would a bargain of epic proportions today.

nice find, the Mullin museum is surely worth doing.
Those were the times when old cars were still second hand cars and not collectibles.
