Heronswood and Windcliff Humor and inspiration on our annual Garden Tour, June 10

NWARC’s annual Garden Tour has always been a fascinating event, but organizer Debi Schmid outdid herself this year by arranging tours of Dan Hinckley’s amazing Heronswood garden on the Olympic Peninsu- la, and of Windcliff, the private garden at his personal home, both tours being led by Dan himself! As a re- sult we had a great turn-out, with contingencies of Alfisti arriving in convoys from Gig Harbor and via the Edmonds-Kingston ferry. Notable vehicles included a flight of four immaculate GTVs and Bill and Judy Gehring’s brand-new Giu- lia, picked up only three days earlier. An avid plant explorer, Dan has for many years roamed the world searching for new and unusual plants that will thrive in the Pacific Northwest. Many of his specimens are from China and other Asian locations, and his most recent focus has been on the mountains of north Viet- nam. When he finds previously-unclassified species, which is often, he has the seeds cleared for import by the US Department of Agri- culture and then sends them to Kew Gardens in England for identification and classi- fication. As a result of his decades of work, Herons- wood is as renowned for its fascinating mix of plants as it is for its beautiful location and landscaping. Dan’s per- Cindy Akana sonal garden at Windcliff has a more open and windy exposure, over- looking Puget Sound with a killer view down to Seattle and Mt. Rainier. Consequently it has a different mix of plants and trees, but is equally beautiful in its own way. Dan sold Heronswood to Burpee Seeds in 2000 when the burdens of running it, operating a nursery to sell specimens and frequent travel to find new varie- ties became over- whelming. Burpee, however, went bankrupt and the garden eventually (continued on page 4) Inside this July 2017 issue…

Garden Tour, June 10 - continued

lay fallow for six years, gradu- ally becoming completely weed- covered. The local Port Gamble S’Klallam tribe, wanting to pre- serve the land and its spirit, acquired it at auction in 2012, and have now hired Dan and a team of volunteers to restore it to its former state. The results are inspirational. Photos give some idea of the gardens’ breadth and variety, but you really need to experi- ence them in person to appreciate them properly. Dan himself was an infectiously enthusiastic host with an encyclope- dic knowledge of plants and a great sense of humor. Most of us bought several plants from his Windcliff nursery (right), some still unclassified. We all left with a sense of wonder at what he’s accomplished, not least his ability to keep Windcliff’s 1.5 acres weed-free with the help of only one man for two days a week! - Jon Inge Photos by Jon Inge except where noted

SOVREN Historics & NWARC’s Pre-Historic BBQ - June 30 The SOVREN Pacific Northwest Historic races got off to a scorching start on Friday, June 30 at Pacific Race- way, with temperatures well into the 80s and a stellar turn-out of Alfas on the grid. After the morning prac- tice sessions racing began in earnest after lunch, and produced some no-holds-barred contests at all points in the grid. There was an encouraging showing by racing Alfas this year, with six GTV coupes, two Spiders and a TZ. I know this first day was the Friday and thus hard for many people to attend, but it’s nice to see three times as many Alfas on the track as were in the “car corral” - which consisted of Harry Reid’s and my Spiders and Jason Frautschi’s Junior Z! After the races we went to the annual “Pre-Historics” barbecue, once again generously hosted by members Gary and Marie Patitz at their home less than half a Dave Kingstone leads Roger mile from the cir- der Marel - for a while. cuit.

Oh yes, and some latecomer showed up in a yellow Ferrari convertible… Fred, do you ever get confused switching between all the different cars you have to drive on a regular basis? Gary and Marie’s garage is an inspiration. Besides the cars it houses Gary’s extensive collection of vintage radios and a wonderful variety of car marque signs, clocks, a rotating stand of vintage road maps and much other ephemera, all neatly displayed and immaculately tidy. I can only guess that all the usual accumulation of spares, tools, half-empty oil cans, left-over parts, etc. that most of us have in our garages is hidden away in a basement somewhere. If you haven’t attended this event before, I strongly suggest you make room for it next year. You won’t be disappointed.

Viva Italia - July 29

NWARC July 2017 newsletter page 6

Upcoming Events - July/August 2017

Monthly Meetings - July/August

With so much going for many members these two months - the National Convention in Montreal, many vacations in August - we won’t be holding our traditional second-Tuesday meetings. Instead, we held a very brief July meeting at the pre-SOVREN Historics barbecue and will hold the August meeting at the Viva Italia meeting on July 29, making it another very good reason to be there!

August 12 - NWARC Summer Drive On Saturday August 12th NWARC will hold its almost annual sum- mer drive. The event will start at the Starbucks in Bothell at 18404 120th Ave NE (across the street from the big Home Depot near the intersection of I405 and SR522) at 11:00AM. The route will include a one and a half hour tour of the scenic but not so straight roads east of Lake Sammamish. At the end of the drive we will have an introduction to the collection of special interest cars that Shannon Low manages for the new dealership Authentic Motor- cars in Redmond. The sun will be shining, the company will be great, and Shannon has a great place to show us. Lunch will be provided at the dealer- ship; what more could you ask for? Come and join the fun. If more information is needed, contact Ken Case at [email protected]

August 20-21 - Solar Eclipse Tour - RSVP Required!! Have you ever experienced a total eclipse? Daylight into a moonless night and then back to day again in a 3-hour period. The last eclipse in the area was in 1979 passing over Portland and parts of Eastern Washington. Sadly, it was a heavy overcast which is typical on a late Feb- ruary day. Though this time it will be summer, the challenge will be if we get the morning ma- rine layer of clouds. With that forecast to be a 26% chance I don’t want to risk it. I’m head- ing to east of the mountains in Oregon. From where we plan to drive, the eclipse will gradually plunge into total darkness for 2 minutes and 2 seconds with what looks like a ring of fire around the black silhouette of the moon, known as a corona. Though it requires special glasses (I’ll provide these) to watch the moons gradual 1.5 hour progression across in front of the sun, the 2 minute portion of total eclipse can be viewed normally without eye protection. Our plan is to leave the Southcenter Mall area around 10 AM on Sunday, August 20, driving pleasant roads south and stopping at the LeMay Foundation for a group tour. Bring a sack lunch for this stop. Next, we drive backroads down to Vancouver, WA where we’ll stay at a hotel for the night. Getting up early the next morning for breakfast, we’ll be on the road around 8 AM following US Hwy 26 as it heads south east across Oregon. Traffic may be slow with many people heading to the same event we’re going to. We should arrive in Madras, watch the last of the darkening process, then the total eclipse at noon, and some of the lightening. As this will be lunchtime, we’ll eat a provided lunch before heading home. Traffic will be an equal challenge heading back to Vancouver but once we enter Washington, we’ll follow a somewhat different scenic route back north towards Seattle. In all, it’s a 600-mile round-trip. I’ve reserved rooms at the Holiday Inn Express at Salmon Creek Vancouver, WA. You’ll need to reserve a room by either calling them at (360) 576-1040 and asking for a room in the “Alfa Romeo Club Tour” block of rooms. The rates are $119.00 + taxes for the night. They are holding a few rooms for us until July 19. After that, any rooms not reserved will be released. Please also contact me ([email protected]) and I’ll be able to create a route guide for you and share the starting point. This is a rare chance to see something almost as cool as an Alfa Romeo and a wee bit more natural. - Fred Russell

Alfa Romeo 6C 2900 SS Villa d’Este - at Villa d’Este

The Villa d’Este Concorso d’Elegenza event began in 1929 as a swanky affair to showcase the incredible coachwork of Europe’s fin- est automotive minds. Carrozzerias would spend all year perfecting their rolling designs to be shown and displayed on the shores of Lake Como at what is arguably one of the most beautiful hotels in the world, Villa d’Este. Marco Makaus, for several years the CEO of the Mille Miglia, a former Sales Director for Ferrari and Rolls Royce, founder of the Bernina GT and now a happy resident of Lake Como, talks about the 1949 2500 SS “Villa d’Este”. “Alfa Romeo before the war was a big industry making mainly airplane engines and big engineering projects, and cars were a small part of the business. Cars of course became their signature product in terms of image and of building the Alfa Romeo brand. Their cars were always at the top of the sporting and luxury market, and were bodied by custom , depending on the customer’s tastes and wishes. “One company that did great work with Alfa Romeo was Carroz- zeria Touring of Milano, which was very close geographically to Alfa Romeo, just a few hundred meters away. After the war, Alfa Romeo resumed production of the 6C , which was available in three different models: 2500, 2500 S and 2500 SS, the latter being a short chassis with the more powerful, three carburetor engine. Of this one, did some beautiful drop heads, and Touring made a num- ber of lovely coupes. “Perfecting a line over the years ’47 to ’49, every car was a little better than the one before. The last one was in 1949 and was shown at the Villa d’Este concourse, the last of the classic Villa d’Este concourses, where it won the public refer- endum prize, as the car most liked by the public. “Somebody then went to Touring and said, “I want a copy of that car.” Bianchi Anderloni, the owner and designer, spoke with Alfa Romeo and said, “Let’s call it Villa d’Este.” So they started this thing, and over three years, from ’49 to ’52, more or less they built about 32, maybe 35 examples of this particular car. “It was the top of the design at the time, and it was a funny mix of an old chassis, if you want, because it was a pre-war chassis with a state of the art, modern ponton kind of body. In recent years, this car, like all post-war 2500s, was not often considered by collectors because everybody was going to the pre-war 6Cs. “About seven or eight years ago I spoke with the owners of Villa d’Este, and said, “You are the only hotel in the world which has a car, a super car, that has the same name. You should have one of these cars.” We bought one for the hotel and created a small community and a registry for them. Eve- ry year, we invite the owners to bring their cars here for a homecoming party. This has been going on for seven years now, with great success. It’s the smallest car meeting in the world, we call it, because out of 32 cars, we now know of about 17 remaining. Every year we have maybe three, five, six, something like this, coming from all over the world. Every car is different because they were handmade. All the owners go and check the details of the others, so it’s lots of fun. “It is amazing to drive because it’s this mix of pre-war and post-war, so you have to really adapt to it and think like you would with a 1930 car. It is obviously a lot better be- cause the post-war cars have independent front suspen- sion, so the steering and the roadholding and the ride are a lot better, but you can feel that all the rest is pre-war. “Before you start driving it, you have to adapt to this thing and manage your driving in the same way. Obvious- ly, you cannot avoid looking into shop windows to see the silhouette passing; it is just fantastic.” Adapted from an article and photographs by Ted Gushue in Petrolicious, May 30, 2017
