The first car is chassis number 41100, now known as the Coupé Napoleon. It was used by Ettore Bugatti, and in his later life became his personal car. It remained in the family's possession, housed at their Ermenonville Chateau until financial difficulties forced its sale in 1963. It subsequently passed into the hands of the obsessive Bugatti collector Fritz Schlumpf. It originally had a Packard body. It was re-bodied by Parisian coach-builder Weymann as a two-door fixed head coupe. The Weymann body was replaced after the car was crashed by Ettore Bugatti, who in 1930 or 1931 fell asleep at the wheel traveling home from Paris to Alsace, necessitating a major rebuild. At various stages, it was also fitted with other bodies. Bricked up with 41141 and 41150 during World War II at the home of the Bugatti family in Ermenonville, to avoid being commandeered by the Nazis.
