    Fritz Schlumpf. Among these cars were a
    remarkable group of Type 57 Ventoux and
    Galibiers. The addition of Ventoux and
    Galibier styles to the Mullin Museum’s

    Chassis 57377 was delivered to its first


    owner, Mr.
    D. Saint, on February 28, 1936, most likely
    in exchange for another car. Almost no
    other details of the car’s early history are
    known. The only clue is that at some point,
    the initials K. W. were written on the car’s
    doors, but no documentation of this owner
    exists. Subsequently, the Type 57 was
    purchased by American collector John
    Shakespeare, who sold it to French textile
    magnate Fritz Schlumpf in 1964. The
    French government confiscated
    Schlumpf’s entire collection in 1977. After
    twenty-two years, sixty-two of the cars
    were returned to Fritz Schlumpf’s widow,
    Arlette, and remaining family in what is
