Bugatti coming apart

Vintage photo from the late teens to the early 1920s of what is probably a Bugatti Brescia. The look on his face as he notices his rear wheel about to pass him...........

Let's list the safety features NOT found here; 1) Front Brakes, 2) disc brakes, 3) Roll bar or safety cage, 4) Fire retardant suit, 5) Crash helmet, 6) Wide grippy tires, 7) Seat belt. This was a dangerous sport, but then they weren't going over 200 mph on the straights either. This will be the first of 3 very old vintage prints I thought my car buddies would enjoy, and it does have universal humor/fright interest for all viewers. NO, of course I did not take the image.
