DEL MONTE FOREST, Calif. —

Classic car collector Fritz Burkhard teamed up with Audrain Automobile Museum for a once-in-a-lifetime experience, driving his $30 million 1937 Bugatti from the Rhode Island Museum to Pebble Beach for Car Week.

Burkhard won Best of Show in last year's Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. This year, he wanted to share the car's history while also showing it's meant to be driven.

He said, "I wanted to show that it's possible. I mean, if I can drive a prewar Bugatti across your beautiful country, you can do it in a '60 car, '70 car, and just go out and enjoy and use the cars. They're made for driving."

The vehicle was fully restored before the trip, and a mechanic followed Burkhard in a bright red Mustang across the country to take care of the classic.
