Rare pictures! They were taken in Milano short before the car left to Argentina. It was named to be a gift by the CGT, the most powerful trade union in Argentina. They ordered it as birthday present for the President.
But his birthday was in October and the car arrived in January 1955
In September 1955 Peron was set off power and the car was sold...
It is still not sure if Alfa recieved payment for the car
Ciao Carlo

I realize that this is the reported history of chassis number 1361-128, but it is a little difficult to believe that one chassis had 5 different bodies on it.

Count six if the PF body is no longer on it as suggested in a previous post.

... or two, if the three Pinin Farina bodies are derivitives, as I have assumed [but not studied].
The PF body has left 00128, and I'll try to post a photo from Amelia showing the underside here tonight.

Maybe the 2 successive Superflows re-used panels or bits already on the car, but they are undoubtly different creations, so I don't see your point. And that would make three anyway as, if the PF body has been removed, that should be in order to put another one on 0128.
Please post the documents about the current chassis of that body if you can.

What am I missing? I count 5 bodies on chasssis 00128
1) MM/LM type coupe
2) Superflow 1 w/glass front fenders
3) Superflow II
4) Super Sport Spider (looks like a big Duetto)
5) Super Sport coupe that was in Rosso Bianco
6) ??
Does anyone think that it is possible that one of these 5 bodies was actually put on the "missing" second 6c3000-C52 and not on a 6c3000CM??

"I'm not sure this feature also appears on the production-intended 6C3000 engine...
Or as you suspect, original internal coolant flow was not suffficient for racing, and external tubes are an addition."
The external coolant lines are a traditional design characteristic of Alfa and other Italian engine designs. They are there back into the 1930's, and the 159 drawings in Fusi illustrate the inlet and outlet water pipes as also used on the 6C3000CM.
The 1900 used a water distribution duct cast into the block on the exhaust side which channeled water around the cylinders and into the head and then a single central outlet.
What is interesting is that the drawing of the 6 cylinder Disco Volante chassis, which Fusi puts in the 6C3000CM section of his book, has a 1900 thermostat housing drawn in the center of the cylinder head.
I have not yet seen a photo of the C50 motor.
I don't know how much the external supplies to the head was a "belt and suspenders" kind of feature, and how much it was necessary as power levels increased. The 4 cylinder Giulietta engine gained separate water outlets [into the manifold, for the ordinary motors, and into a separate pipe for the the Veloce] and so the water pipes became "standard."
