I was at the Simeone Museum over the weekend and I was surprised how many vintage Alfas they had. All of them had significant race history and wins, between the Mille Miglia, Le Mans, Sebring and other famous races. I was in awe. For $12 to get in, this was a bargain of the year. Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures. I forgot my camera and only had my cell phone.
Without further adieu, here are some pictures of the Alfas as well as other cars that caught my eye. Click the picture for a larger view.
