  • Story of the Alfa Romeo Factory and Plants : Part 1 the Early Portello
    Story of the Alfa Romeo factory and plants: Part 1 The early Portello Factory Patrick Italiano Special thanks go to Karl Schnelle, Indianapolis, USA, for his patient proofreading and editing of the English version of this text Over the last few years, we have had to deal with large changes in Alfa Romeo-related places and buildings, as we witnessed the destruction of the old Portello factory, step by step in the late 80s, and also the de-commissioning of the much more modern Arese plant. Sad tales and silly pictures of places and people once full of pride in manufacturing the most spirited cars in the world. As reported by historians, it has long been – and still is for few – a source of pride to belong to this “workers aristocracy” at A.L.F.A.. Places recently destroyed to make place for concrete buildings now containing commercial centres or anonymous offices, places where our beloved cars were once designed, developed and built. It’s often a mix of curiosity and thrill to have the chance to look behind the scenes and see into the sanctuary. Back in 1987, when the first part of Portello was being torn down, Ben Hendricks took us on a visit to the Portello plant in Het Klaverblaadje #40. That was, as Jos Hugense coined the title 15 years later, the “beginning of the end”. Today, one can see Alfas running on the Fiat assembly lines along with Fiat Stilos and at best Lancia Thesis. These Fiat plants are no longer the places where distinguished and passionate brains try to anticipate technical trends five years into the future, thus ensuring that the new generation of Alfas keep such high company standards, as Ing.

    Volume 19 Issue 6 June 1, 2019 The 1958 - 1960 Lincolns, Interesting Automobiles A totally different Lincoln from the ones who came before it. Experiencing a shortage of articles from our members, we went back into the archives of Continental Comments for an interesting article; which you might enjoy. Lincoln models 1958 through 1960 were both interesting from a mechanical and stylistic standpoint. A lot of folks were not quite sure if the new look of these models was something that they would really like over a period of time. Compared to the 1956 and 1957 models, they really were quite different. Boxier and somewhat larger by most measurements. Now some 60 years later, they are sort of coming into their own. Nice examples will bring a lot of money today, especially if they are convertibles. We have several of these models owned by North Star club members, and they do speak quite highly of them. This article was written by Tim Howley and appeared in the July August 2002 issue of Conti- nental Comments. It is an interesting story, and it looks at these models in a fairly object fashion. Welcome to the We hope you enjoy reading it. Northstar News, the The late Fifties is a fascinating era in automobile styling. It produced the ultimate in ba- roque automobile architecture, especially in the biggest American cars. We think of the 1959 monthly publication of Cadillac and 1957-59 Imperial as being the most interesting examples. But when you set the Northstar Region them alongside the 1958 Lincoln, and to a degree the 1959 and 1960 versions, they don't even of the Lincoln and begin to compare in terms of uniqueness of design.

El francés de Nápoles Oficialmente nuestra historia comenzó el 24 de junio de 1910, con la fundación de la A.L.F.A. (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili). Pero vamos a empezar unos años antes, con un personaje colorido: un francés con un bigote de manillar y un instinto sobresaliente para los negocios. Pierre Alexandre Darracq comenzó su carrera dirigiendo una fábrica de bicicletas en Burdeos, antes de enamorarse de los automóviles. Así, comenzó a producir automóviles en Francia y hacer un éxito de la misma. Luego decidió exportar la apertura de sucursales en Londres y luego Italia. En Italia comenzó sus operaciones, en abril de 1906. Pero Nápoles estaba muy lejos de Francia y el viaje era complejo y costoso. Así, en diciembre había transferido la producción a Milán, en el número 95 en el distrito de Portello. Pero junto con las dificultades logísticas se dio cuenta de que también había problemas de mercado.

  • Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It by STEVE REPERGEL
    Preston Tucker: His Car and the Men Who Helped Create It By STEVE REPERGEL Recently, I had the privilege of speaking to Philip S. Egan, author of “Design and Destiny: the making of the Tucker Automobile.” Now 81, Egan, an industrial designer, helped make Preston Tucker's dream car a reality. This story outlines my conversations with Egan, presents findings derived from his book and offers insight into the minds of the automotive geniuses who worked so diligently behind the scenes. As a highly creative individual who possessed acute visionary skills and a refined sense of business acumen, Preston Tucker was without question a successful entrepreneur long before he envisioned the Tucker automobile. Much of his success is credited to his personality---he had the talent and gift to make people believe and invest in his ideas. Preston Tucker began his entrepreneurial triumphs during World War II with inventions of mechanical design. His involvement with military staff at Washington D.C. led to contributions on the Sherman Tank, the creation of the infamous Combat Car and the Tucker Turret which was used widely throughout the Second World War His interest in automobiles, especially with regards to speed, was sparked by his close relationship with famous racecar driver and designer Harry Miller. From his associations with Miller, Tucker spent much time composing concepts of mechanical ingenuity that could be applied to the inner workings of a revolutionary automobile. It was clear, however, that Preston Tucker would not be satisfied with just selling his ideas about automobiles. He wanted to produce a vehicle on the open market that he could proudly claim as his very own.

  • Le Mans: the Official History 1923‐29 the Official History of the World’S Greatest Motor Race by Quentin Spurring
    For Immediate Release: Le Mans: The Official History 1923‐29 The official history of the world’s greatest motor race By Quentin Spurring UK price: £50.00, Jacketed Hardback ISBN: 978‐1‐910505‐08‐3 Format: 280 x 230mm, Page Extent: 336pp Illustration: Over 350 photographs Publication Date: October 2015 This book, the latest in the officially sanctioned, decade‐by‐decade series about the history of the Le Mans 24 Hours, explores the formative years of the world’s greatest motor race. Officially licensed with the ACO, the organisers of the annual Le Mans 24 Hours race, this sumptuous book is the sixth title in a decade‐by‐decade series that is building up into a multi‐volume set covering every race. This title covers the seven 24 Hours races of the 1920s, plus, as a prologue, all the events held at the Le Mans circuit during the period 1906‐23. Each running of the 24 Hours is exhaustively covered in vivid photographs, an insightful commentary providing more detailed information than has ever been published about the period, and full statistics. Complied by an acknowledged authority of this legendary race, this series of books is treasured by all enthusiasts of sports car racing. This book covers the exciting era in which Bentley came to the forefront, winning in 1924 with a sabotaged car, in 1927 with a damaged car, in 1928 with a broken car, and in 1929 with a car that set an entirely new standard for Le Mans racers. Woolf Barnato, the man whose wealth kept the company solvent, won twice, while Dudley Benjafield, ‘Tim’ Birkin, Frank Clement, Sammy Davis, John Duff and Bernard Rubin were the other ‘Bentley Boys’ who tasted success.
