nice wheels
Lots of nice looking sets of "wheels" in these pictures and the headlights aren't bad either. And, the cars are a real bonus.

Could be California also, their call boxes look like that. I couldn't blow it up enough, even from the original source, without too much graininess to read it. As I recall, California's have the call box # below the words "call box".
If they were testing AC, I hope it performs better in that Alfa than it does in the Alfetta coupes that felt like you were getting a light mist when turned on full blast. For the money that car costs, I'd certainly expect AC that freezes me out.

It's funny you mention that because this past weekend I had the Junior Olympic qualifying meet for my girls in Escondido, CA and it was 107 on Saturday and I drove my GTV6 with Milano upgraded AC, and while cold it is nowhere as cold as my 1963 Impala or when I borrow my dads 1994 Olds Silhouette. My 164's are not even close.

What I call air conditioning is what I had in my Suburban with front and rear blowers where if you sat in shorts you had goosebumps, Alfa doesn't come close to that in any of their models.
I've been running my air since about noon today....couldn't take it any more; and tomorrow is supposed to be worse.

Best I can tell the A/C does not work all that well, but maybe with a better close-up shot we would know for sure.

OK, "alfa croatia"... It's good to see you "on topic", but it would be better if you did not post pictures that have already been posted on this thread.
