A detail photo of the left front wheel of a Bugatti Type 55. I have no idea why there is safety wire on the knock-offs, as I don’t see any logic to the arrangement. But, it certainly seems correct on the very hand-made, but very high-craft, high-quality of the Bugatti. The Type 55 was the road-legal version of the Type 54 Grand Prix racing car… the XK-SS to the Jaguar D-type as it were. I photographed this while visiting Dean & Wendy Edmonds’ collection in Florida. It was a stop along the final running of the Forza Amelia, the only Vintage Rally where my father and I managed an outright win. That was a ton of fun. Seeing the Edmonds’ collection, and the Collier Museum were two amazing highlights to an incredible week.
