RARE ALFA CABRIO UNEARTHED

In 1950 came the 1900, which was made on a production line. There were various models, and some platforms went out to specialist coachbuilders.

Gullwing Motor Cars of Astoria, New York, is offering for sale a 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900C that was one of only 88 to be made with cabriolet coachwork by Pinin Farina.

The handsome Alfa was bought new in 1952 by Sergeant Leroy Bell Jnr, who was stationed with the US Army at the 7th Evacuation Hospital in Darmstadt, Germany.
