I wouldn't call it pretty, as I would with most Alfas, but it's quite a handsome thing.

Well I didn't say it was pretty, just cool. Although I'm of the opposite opinion as I think it's prettier than most Alphas I've seen.

There was one of those in The Godfather movie - it's the car Michael Corleone's Sicilian wife was driving when it blew up.

No doubt. Both the car and building are gorgeous.

Good call Stuart!

Cooper Technica in Chicago has a couple of 1942 Alfas under restoration that look very similar to this. Imagine the pull you must have had--- to have a car like this built when WWII was raging, and the military needed every bit of raw material available. From what I understand a high-ranking German officer got one--- I'm not sure who ordered the other---- Mussolini?

Isn't that what Michael Corleone's wife was blown up in?
