I showed my 1978 Alfa Romeo Spider at the Oakmont Classic Car Show (Santa Rosa, CA) on Saturday, hobbling around on my swollen, bee-stung foot. Mine was one of only four foreign cars at the show. Members of the Oakmont crowd are mostly nostalgic for the cars they grew up with, so, in that spirit, I offer the photo posted here--a miniature celebration of American steel. The amount of chromed steel that went into 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s American automobiles is truly staggering. When I get around to it, I'll post a photo of the Spider. The show was fun, but I feel more at home at the annual Alameda All-Italian show in the autumn.
