I am not sure of Meadow Brooks' exact rules, but most concours events will not allow the same car to be shown again, or at least until after a 5 or 10 year waiting period, so each year's show is fresh and new to returning spectators.
See ya' in Rochester Hills this Sunday!

Regardless, beautiful.

Pierre dropped the engine into the chassis backward. He nearly dropped his cigarette in dismay.
"Zut alors! Mais ze engine, she is zo freekeeng heavy, oui? J'install le transmission dans l'avant. Tout d'accord!"
It is the French way to simply accept things as they are, and move on.

You'd have to be a bad-ass to drive this thing around today without ripping it's guts out on some curb-cut, much less back in '32.

"LOOK AT THAT ONE, TWO RACCOONS FIGHTING OVER A BASKETBALL!"
Pssst, dad, i think they can hear you.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY..... I DON'T CARE, HE/SHE/IT IS STILL FAT!!!
Whenever I really get going on a rant, my wonderful wife can take it down a notch while still giving me the highest possible praise, "You're just like your Father!' A kick in the gut and a pat on the back at the same time.

For what it's worth, the FWD drivetrain actually makes it more exotic, given the era.

I can't shake the feeling that I've seen this car somewhere before...

Great. So now the proles not only 'can't touch', they (we) 'can't look'. I'm surprised we're even allowed to know of this vehicle's existence-surely it's Untouchable and Unlookable Beauty may spark Class Warfare, by opening a Pandora's Box of resentment.
BTW, if there is a revolution, I get first dibs on this car.

Double spares, low (realy low) roof line, one of a kind, black red and chrome, V-12. All this 60 years before Bajito y Suavecito became popular.
Speechless.

A supremely gorgeous car, and one of only six Buccialis made after 1926. Look how low it is compared to the adjacent Duesenberg. This wasn't even the most radical Buc made - the picture is of a 1930 16-cylinder Double Huit.

Maybe that's part of the reason they had a hard time making sales.

These Buccialis were made mostly to showcase the Bucciali brothers' FWD technology. The brothers were less interested in making cars than selling the rights/patents to a major manufacturer for a very handsome price. They didn't succeed despite the beautiful cars.
