The United States: Goodwin, Callender, Moser and Leavitt (1954- 1979)
The car had been exported to Goodwin in the US. From around 1962 to 1968 it was in
the possession of Rawley S Callender, Santa Barbara, California. In Oct 1968 the car
was bought by Bob Paul Moser, living 3250 Breamar Road, Santa Barbara, California.
He had work done on the body and the car repainted after which he put it up for sale
again for $ 6500.-. From 1970 to 1979
the owner was John Leavitt in New
York. According to the registrar of the
American Bugatti Club, Sandy Leith,
none of these were members of the
American Bugatti Club, and it is said
that the car has not or hardly been
driven during that time. I have not
been able to get any information from
these owners so far.
Three Bugattis in a row, nicely depicting the evolution in styles: Left 44266, in the middle a 35B
(4963), which now for all intents and purposes does not exist anymore (although the license
plate is on another 35) and on the right a 57 SC (57512) with a Corsica body, outside the
premises of the garage of Brian Finglass, ‘Speed Models’ in Notting Hill Gate in London.
The 57 has gone to the USA, the coach has been removed temporarily, but has recently been
reunited during a restoration in California in 1995.
