Very cool. That silver Zagato-bodied Alfa looks super rare. Anyone know what that is?

Wow- 3 Alfa Zagatos (2 Jr's and the early 60's silver one) that's some rare metal! I always love the interesting mix -looks like a lot of people were looking to get out of the house after the Thanksgiving break.

Sweet cars there.

Is that a typical array of Italian machinery? Alfa, Lancia, Ferrari, sweet.

The body-kit Corvettes are severely outclassed by Italian design.

Mercedes racers are very impressive.

Thanks for the pics.

Yes - it is an Zagoto bodied Alfa Romeo SSZ

It was built on the normal 1900 Sprint floorpan.

Approximately 40 where built (plus a handful of spiders) 1954-56. class winner various events including Giro d'Italia 1954.

Of the 40, less than 10 exist today - a couple are in museums, very few are seen in public.

Yes that is pretty typical of CNC-if you can call any of the Saturdays-"typical" The level of cars you see at this show can only be compared to major concours like Pebble Beach- and these are 99% driven to and from the show! It's good to see the Mercedes Museum and restoration center bringing out some of their exhibits-it looks like they still have the Colorado Grand decals on the doors. As you are in So Cal you really owe it to yourself to head to Irvine early next Saturday and check it out.

The quality of the shots is really good this week! The interior of the Veyron is spot on. The Mercedes AMG racer and the other ones are interesting. The orange Cadillac is awesome! Is it a '61?

Thanks for sharing, and taking the time to do this.

Porsche 550 Spyder...my favorite. Some of those Corvettes were just downright ugly.
