This past week, the auction house announced that they had found a buyer for the car, but released limited details on the sale.

In this hilarious but too-short video, Conan O’Brien shows why he’s a celebrity for the common man. Although I’m sure he could afford it, he’s not driving a Bentley, a Bugatti Veyron or a Toyota Prius. Instead, he’s driving a 1992 Ford Taurus SHO that hasn’t been washed, inspected or insured in decades.

Kit cars with shapes emulating classic Bugatti, Delahaye, Auburn, Pierce-Arrow, Mercedes, Bentley and Rolls-Royce designs flourished, many poorly made and based on cars like the Buick Regal or Lincoln Town Car. With the originals selling for six, seven or even eight figures, it wasn’t surprising that anyone would want a budget alternative, but the offerings were generally more of an insult to the originals than a tribute.

WHILE ITS FUTURE as a production model remains shrouded in mystery, Bugatti has today issued a series of new photos revealing the retro-futuristic Galibier 16C concept in greater detail than ever. Originally finished in a Veyron-like deep blue and polished silver colourway, this new iteration shows a subtler satin-on-gloss black-on-black scheme.

Bugatti pulled a similar shtick in Geneva , but we were luck enough to get a closer look at an exclusive viewing in Beverly Hills.

Another tasty nugget at the Gooding & Company auction was this 1928 Bugatti 35C GP (for Gran Prix) racer. The Bugatti Type 35 was the car to beat in its day, and Type 35s amassed over 1,000 race wins. At the height of their popularity, Bugatti Type 35s were earning an average of 14 race wins per week, a feat that has not been repeated since
