This story, that each of these cars is a part of the unfolding of, has a perfect format for the telling and I am struggling to find it. I have been writing a “Giulietta models” page on and off for months and every time I work on it I think it might be time to build a real website with links to pages and all but this too would lead to limitations.
The story is all at once a history with a genesis, a genealogy, accounts of the heroic deeds of remarkable family members and the humans that operated them on race tracks and winding mountain roads, a tale of economic forces, a tale of product life-cycle and today a tale of restoration, preservation and history. I have been telling this tale ad hoc, as the material comes available and time allows, but the time is coming when the whole singular tale could be told from the pieces.
So what am I getting at here? I guess this is another call for help. You all know how you would like the story to look, how the pieces would fit together and tell the larger tale. I want some recommendations. Is there a book I should get that is exemplary in its presentation of this sort of history? I have a lot of Alfa history type books but they all focus on a piece of the story, and even the best are budget limited and thereby content limited by the publisher.
Have a look at the beginnings of the new page and send me an email or post a comment.
By the way, woo hoo, this is my 300th post!
Taking a break at the intersection of HWY’s 36 and 3(?) traveling between Red Bluff and Fortuna. Sprint was running fab and spirits were high.
This is the same color combo as my spider, red on gray, and in my humble opinion, probably the best color combo for an Alfa of this period. Bumper over riders have been deleted. Stance is perfect, hood, door and trim fit is as well.
Paint looks great, as does trim and shut lines. I need a set of these headlight rings! From this angle and with this camera it looks like it’s peering out of a goldfish bowl.
