Bucciali

Bart de Vries' Bucciali Inspiration.

Almost as remarkable as the Bucciali itself is the strange fact that while William Tishman was building his passion in a shop in California, 5,550 miles away in Holland, almost at exactly the same time, an artist, not an industrialist, was also creating an automobile inspired by the Bucciali.
