Concorso Comes Again!Mark VaughnConcorso Italia was mostly as good as it had been last year, when we were so happy to see that it wasn't getting worse, but this year faced its own challenges. For instance, it took almost an hour to get in as 4,000 attendees were funneled from one four-way intersection into a single golf cart track of a "road" with one guy in a red hat desperately begging and cajoling all 4,000 to line up, pleeeeeeze!Blame that on construction, but it seems someone could have come up with a better way to park the cars.Once inside, though, there was a lineup of Italian cars almost as nice as last year, with over 50 Alfa Romeo Duettos celebrating that model's 60th anniversary, as well as Ferraris, Lancias, and even a Ducati or two. But the organizers also seem happy to accept any car for which the owners check has cashed, so we saw distinctly non-Italian marques like Porsche, Shelby, and gawd-knows what else scattered all over the field like bad debts.AdvertisementAdvertisementCome Concorso, we love you!

Just over 1000 units were built between 1989 and 1991. It was known for its wild styling, as much as for its 3.0-liter "Busso" V6 engine and rear-wheel-drive performance derived from the Alfa Romeo 75.Photo credit: Mark Vaughn1973 Maserati BoraPhoto credit: Mark Vaughn1969 Alfa Romeo Junior ZagatoPhoto credit: Mark VaughnAdvertisementAdvertisement1982 GTV6 2.5 Balocco S.E.
