Alfa Autobus 140A, 900A ad scans

I got these ad brochers for Alfa buses in a lot of Alfa books, shop manuals, and sales material recently.

The 140A is an urban bus, six cylinder diesel, 12.5 liters, 140-150 HP. Note the split driveshafts leading to the dual rear axles. Even has an Alfa shield grille.

The 900A is a "GT" intercity or urban bus. Love the roll-back roof and stylized front end, but no Alfa grille. Six cylinder diesel, 9.5 lilters, 130 HP.

I'd guess late 1950s?

Hi Andrew, The 140A sales sheet shows a SIAI Marchetti body. It is from the early fifties (1951 if I'm correct). The 900A shows an Alfa with a Macchi body and is also from the early fifties (1952 if I'm correct). Nice items. Take good care of them since they represent an interesting part of the Alfa Romeo history.

Thank you. I have them in my big pile of Alfa brochures and marketing items.
