Some recent photos and some you have seen before but no one knew the story behind them (see post #23). Since I snapped all of them, I also happen to know what happened and where.
BAT 11 was in Detroit in early August, and local AROC members had a chance to chat with its designer, David Wilkie while looking over the car and even helping with assembling/touching-up some parts prior to the show at Meadow Brook. A model posed with the car on Sunday. The woman in the hat is the same one, but thirty years later, who was posing with the Alfetta GT in the Black & white photo in the previous post.
The various cars and models in the other are from the start of the 2007 AROC convention, snapped during the 8C Competizione North American press introduction. The owner of the green 2000 Vignale is the guy in the yellow shirt. Someone wondered why he was looking at the car in another photo, and not the women. the answer is that the woman he was talking with is a newspaper reporter and he is describing the car.
The AROC member who owns the low-nose Sprint Speciale ran over to the press show from work, still wearing his suit and tie. He looked very official, so he ordered several models to stand around his car and then ased my to take a series of photos, one of which became a cover of Alfa Owner.
The other photo is of a model and 8C Competizione while the public relations person from Maserati, N.A. talks about it
