I only purchased this kit since I loved the lines of it, and it is so reminiscent of the original 4 Bugatti Atlantic type 57SC. It was a quick build as it is a Snap kit from Linburg. The hardest part was detailing it, and waiting for the paint to dry. The interior color should have been a darker red/maroon, but I liked the mix I made up of testors rust, and flat red.

Nice work. Interior colors look great with the bronze.  :D

I always loved that thing, and really hoped Chrysler would build it in limited production, like they did with the Viper.

Never seen this one done before, very smooth lines and shows a lot can be done with a snap together kit! 👏🏻👏🏻

Great looking paint finish and I like the color. What paint did you use on the body? You're right about the body lines on this.

It would have been great if Chrysler would have built to for the market. Beautiful build.💯

You certainly nailed this one and, like you, I like that body style, too bad it never went into production. Beautiful color and the interior red accent make it stand out.

Sweet!  This is one of those weirdly wonderful designs from Chrysler, and I was surprised they even put it in kit form. I dig it.

Looks fantastic! I liked your build of it so much that I went online today and I bought one myself. Hope mine turns out as good as yours did.

Very nice model.

Judging by appearance the Chrysler Atlantic could have actually been a Bugatti Concept Car with a changed front with horse shoe radiator shell instead.

It certainly took its cues from both the classic Bugatti Atlantic body style and having wheels retro styled on the T41 and T50 cars.

Your right about that being a great looking car.  Really nice build on what is simple/minimalist kit.  Sadly it's also hard to find good reference photos of the interior & engine-underside of that car.  Yours turned out beautiful & I've only seen a couple of others built, so thanks for sharing.  Very nice!
