I heard that some poor guy went crazy in the attempt to replicate the braided "grab handles" on the back of the seats for the rear passengers. Not to mention stitching by hand all the leather wrapped convertible top bows and steering wheel. He still has nightmares about it. Thanks for the video, Dave!

Dave you are a wealth of information. You have obviously dedicated your entire life into what you do. You are such an interesting guy. Do you ever do meet and greet type of things. The work you and your team have put out is second to to none and to think that you are so close by is just amazing to me. When you see specimens you automatically think that they are done in these world class places in California or whatnot but to think it's from somewhere local just makes it all that much better. Sorry I just got to check it out I downloaded it as I wasn't able to check it out at that point. I'm definitely happy I didn't just skip over it. Finally Larry is he still around or is it something you can't speak on and if that's the case I totally understand. Anyway ty for another successful video in the books 👍🇨🇦🔧

Hi Chris from Australia, I have really enjoyed a re-run of the Alfa Remo 6C 2500. A classic car of graceful lines lovely and including its history. I have just watched, by accident (KZbin) with the Alfa winning a number of awards at Pebble Beach. I am unsure of the time line between the 2 articles, but congratulations to you all. I am going to check out the merchandise shop. Good luck.

Thank you for this great bit of obscure automotive history. I had a book that had many photos of these post war Alfas by Pininfarina but they don't seem to get much coverage. The first 300 SL racers didn't have the airfoil shaped blisters on them and were added by the time they went into production. This car may have been an influence. I also wondered about the scarcity of aluminum after the war and never heard of the drop tank theory. Very interesting idea. Also, never seen the Loewy/Koto photos or heard that story before. Loewy had several plaster concept models made that certainly could have been inspired by this car's smooth form. Loewy be a French immigrant may have seen it at the Salon. It also reminds me of the Kurtis - Muntz cars. Fun to research this era of automotive design.

David, the histories of many old cars are much of the charm. Thanks for dusting off the AR- it was a beautiful car when it was designed and it still is today. Having worked on some early 50's Italian metal, I found their welding, even on steels, pretty uneven. How is the AM project shaping up?

Hello, I am very interested. As you know, there are tons of investments out there and without solid knowledge, I can't decide what is best. Can you explain further how you invest and earn?

About 45 years ago while traveling in Italy someone pointed out the coupe sedan version of this car to me that was sitting in a garage. Unfortunately, I had no appreciation at the time, but your video reminds me how tastes can change. Thanks.

Interesting story! I'm curious though, why would a car built for a Parisian be right-hand-drive?

@paulshubsachs4977 5 ай бұрын

All A-R 2500s were right-hand-drive, as were all Lancias (up to 1953). There is a theory that Italian drivers from the mountainous regions regarded RHD as a safety feature when negotiating narrow roads bordered by long vertical drops as kerbside features! Top end French makes kept to RHD into the mid-'fifties;...Bugatti, Delahaye, Talbot, Hotchkiss, and Salmson. It is less clear just why those manufacturers clung to RHD. The origins of RHD on cars that drive on the right is usually explained by the chauffeur having easy access to the rear passenger compartment, the filthy rich being too lazy to open or close a car door. True or not, that explanation does not help us when considering French owner/driver cars. Chenard et Walcker, and Mathis, amongst a few others stuck to RHD into the mid-'thirties. Citroën, Renault, and Peugeot, the big players, plumped for LHD. Confused?...I still am!

I had the same reaction. Then I started thinking about what pre-war cars looked like. It is a kind of showcase for modern features, but the proportions aren't quite right yet. So many 1950s elements are found in that car.

It is astounding that someone who has spent years around Italian cars cannot pronounce the Italian "C". Sadly, it renders the video unwatchable. In particular, fre-KEY-ador-oh??? NO FRE-chi-ah DOH-roe.
