I find it interesting that this has come up. I can see the logic behind the Court's decision since this is no longer really a car but is now more like a work of art.

However.......

There were a lot of 'art works' like this one that fell into the hands of the Allies after the war. I remember reading the background of some French car, maybe a Bugatti Royal, that was found in the back of a used car lot in Jersey, about 1948, where someone bought it for $50.

Will the heirs of those original owners now come after 'their' cars?
