Rare and beautiful Alfa sold to the wealthy. These cars were actually designed before WWII. After the war, production continued through the early 50s. So, in essence, this is a pre-war classic built new four years after WWII ended.

From Owner:

This stunning SS Pininfarina Cabriolet has covered just 19,000 Kilometers from new and was in the ownership of a single family until we acquired the car last summer. We campaigned the car immediately at the National Alfa Meet where it received the coveted Pat Braden Award, the car was also shown at Meadowbrook, The Glenmoor Gathering, Auto Historica V in Chicago, and The Masterpiece Concours in Milwaukee. Sporting some possible later 50's period modifications like the Stainless exterior exhaust, air horns, and a nice interestingly period vinyl interior, the car was repainted, had the Borranis restored, and received a new top in the 90's. The restorer swears there are numbers on the side vents that match the cars numbers, so those could be original. The car is titled as a 1951, although Anselmis book indicates it as a 1949 build car with delivery to the Rome Alfa Dealer. The correct Factory stateside sealed beam headlamps have recently been covered with the correct lenses, but we only put these on for shows given their value and rarity. This is a very rare Triple Carb Short Wheelbase roadster, with an honesty that one only finds in a car that hasnt been completely nut and bolt restored.
