The old times of Franklin or Bugatti?

This is my first time writing a blog, and I am mostly going to talk about design (mostly fashion design), trends in all sorts of fields, inspiration and things that interest me such as oldtimers, alternative fashion, music and design, animals, environment, etc.

And just to get started I am going to compare the two oldtimer cars that caught my eye:

the 1908 Franklin Model G Runabout

and the 1938 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic

Lets just say all that the Franklin is a bit of a tea party kind of a car where you want to dress up just to look stylish enough to ride in it, the perfect car for a cylinder hat, or just steampunk clothing,
and the Bugatti is more manly, a batmobile kind of a car, futuristic design, but with traditional beauty of the 1930s car with the round headlights and a long hood.

As far as the performances go,
Franklin has a four-cylinder engine with 18 horsepower and is perfect for people who like to enjoy slow riding,
Bugatti  has a 3257cc engine, and 130 kW to 150 kW and can accelerate to 120 mph (190 km/h) thus suitable for the fast rider type of a person.
The Franklin was equipped with the following body types: Four-passenger touring, six passenger-town, runabout with hamper, single rumble seat runabout and double rumble-seated runabout.
The Bugatti was based on the Arolithe show car, which was built of magnesium and aluminum. Since those materials couldn't be welded or brazed, Bugatti externally riveted the Arolithe's body, creating the signature seam down the middle of the car. The three production Type 57S Atlantics were built solely from aluminum, but the seams along the roof and the fenders were retained for style.

Both are extremely rare. Franklin stopped producing cars in 1934, while Bugatti is producing cars to this day, and like then, they hold their cars price high.

Ralph Lauren has one of the three original produced 1938 Bugatti Type 57S Atlantic's in his collection of automobiles.
