John Mozart's 8C2900B was most assuredly on the field. It was parked in a
line of 'A1' or pre-WWII Alfas directly infield of the big Alfa Romeo tent
which was located next to the Churchill Street entrance to the Concours -
and a beautiful thing it is too - the car, not the Churchill street
entrance!

This was the best Palo Alto Concours I've attended in years, and yes, there
were far more cars than last year. Also, you will likely NEVER see so many
pre-war Alfas in one place again unless you visit the Museo Storico in
Milan, itself :-)

In fact, from comments I heard, both from friends and strangers in
attendance, was that the Alfas MADE the show!
