Everytime I see an Alfa Romeo…

“Everytime I see an Alfa Romeo pass by, I raise my hat.” This famous quote comes from Henry Ford and quite right he was. Today is the exact day that 100 years ago the marque Alfa Romeo was founded. Starting in 1910 as A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombardo Fabricca Automobili) the cars were strong, but finances weak, so only when industrialist Nicola Romeo jumped in the financial situation became better. After WW I, when production started again, the cars become known as Alfa Romeo. This year Alfa’s centennial is celebrated worldwide at a countless list of Car Shows and Concourses. The first, of course, was Interclassics in January followed by Techno Classica in Essen. The next to pay tribute to Alfa Romeo will be the Concours d'Elegance at Meadow Brook, Pebble Beach and of course the Classic Gala Schwetzingen. Do you know of an event that also features Alfa Romeo and is not on our Events-Calendar? Do tell us!
