These are our picks for the best and most fun entries at the Alfa Romeo Owners Club's annual car show.
Bill Evans’ 6C2500.
Jonathan Segal’s TZ1. This model was based on some of the Giulia’s mechanicals, with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder driving the rear wheels through a five-speed manual.
“As far as all the cars I own—and I’ve got 13 of them—that’s the one I like to drive,” said Segal. “I’ve got a ’73 RS Porsche and it’s pedestrian compared to that. Even though the Porsche may be a better car, I don’t know, that car (pointing to the TZ) is way more fun to drive. It sounds like a Formula One car.”
Joe Ventura’s Sprint Speciale.
Mike Baum’s Junior Zagato 1600 in blu medio. Baum bought it in 2006 in Europe. He says it’s a highly original car with almost everything except the headliner and part of one seat being straight from the factory 40 years ago.
This 1957 Giulietta Sprint in Azura Capri is another of Mike Baum’s cars. “A highly preserved, early Giulietta Sprint,” Baum said, with two “loving, long-term owners” among a small handful lucky enough to have possessed it in the car’s 65 years. Like the Zagato Sprint above, this one is mostly original, including the engine and most of the interior.
Ken Roath’s 1957 1900 CSS Zagato.
This is another Jonathan Segal car, a 1950 6C2500 Super Gioiello. That word means “jewel” in Italian. So it’s a super jewel. No argument here.
The Alfa Romeo Irvine dealership brought this 6C2500.
Val Dietrich’s 1960 2000 Touring Spider.
Antonio Covelli’s 1967 Giulia Super in Bolino d’Oro met Grigio Chiaro.
Joe Ventura’s Giulietta Spider.
Hector Vazquez’ 1974 GTV.
Stephen and Lynn Wheeler’s 2018 Stelvio Quadrifoglio.
Larry Dickman’s 2018 leads a long line of Giulias. His is a Quadrifoglio. Molto bene!
Mel Ryan-Roberts’ Giulia Ti in Alfa Rosso.
A lone 4C Spider—the two-seater was available in the US from 2013 to 2018.
Jim and Elyse Barrett are co-presidents of the Alfa Club. They found this 1989 Milano after it had been sitting in a barn for five years. It was in great shape parked at the show. In fact, you could say it was a mint Milano.
Giulia 1300 Super—this model was introduced in 1970.
1996 GTV TS Lusso in original Rosso Proteo paint.
A GT Bertone Coupe that was never imported into the U.S. This was the last Alfa designed by Bertone. A rare sight on these shores.
Brian Shorey and Tom Sahines’ 1969 Berlina in blue and white Polizia livery. You could never outrun this.
Dan Steuer’s 1962 Giulietta Spider 1300 Normale in Blanco finish.
