The Mullin Automotive Museum was a privately owned automobile museum in Oxnard, California, US. Established in 2010, it displayed the personal car collection of businessman and philanthropist Peter W. Mullin.

Most Type 57s feature bodywork penned by Jean Bugatti in one of four distinct styles named after Mont Ventoux, the Col du Galibier and the Stelvio Pass, but this custom coupe took the best traits from each. It was built by employees at the factory as a gift to Ettore Bugatti and was probably one of the last cars he acquired. It uses some of the trademark Type 57 traits, but with a full profiled fastback design that was unique among Type 57s. Furthermore, the car remained predominantly with the factory and was continually developed.
