Photo History of a Mildly Afflicted
Alfista, 1966 to 2000
Top row: Before and after photos of my (Gary's) first Alfa, a
1959 Spider Nearly Normale. Photo taken circa 1966.
The new paint job doesn't show in the far right photo of the top row, but it's
metallic silver. Anyone know
what happened to my old Spider, California license NDS 576?
Second row: Photos taken just after I bought the 1967 GTV
that's plastered all over these pages. The paint
went from the original appliance white
to BMW Baltic Blue in 1983. It's now 501 red.
Third & fourth
rows: GTC purchased in 1983, stripped, then taken to a place that dipped the
entire shell in a
chemical stripper. Also,
on row four, the only photo I have showing how to keep three Alfas in a standard
two-car garage:
make one levitate (that's it hanging
over the 1971 Spider). This car was finally restored in
southern California in 2003 or 2004, after changing hands at least twice more.
Fifth & sixth
rows: 1971 1750 Spider built for
daughter, Hillarie; Spider and GTV (prior to GTV's new red paint).
Seventh
row: Baltic Blue
GTV on the 1985 Alfa tour of Laguna Seca during the Historics; son Ted's
first
Milano Verde and the GTV.
igure
out how to modify the navigation bars on this template, so "Product" is Webese
for "Here are the Alfa pix."O
