Yes I guess the wheels gave it away but it's not a Type 50 and the coachbuilder is not Gangloff.

Type 49 with a French coach from 1930-1935 ?

Type 49 with a French coach from 1930-1935 ?

Yes, that's basically correct - a Bugatti Type 49 Coupe with a (French coachbuilder) body.
The chassis is three years older than the body but both are within the 1930-1935 range.
LOCKED for you to have another guess as to the coachbuilder and years.

It took some time to find out but it is a body by Labourdette from 1935, the car is from 1932
