RE: Alfa Content in C&D!!!

["Dean Mericas" <dmericas@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was fortunate enough to participate on C&D's team.  Taruffi and Regazzoni
drove two of five Alfas from Scuderia Portello that were brought over from
Italy with a fully equipped service van and team of mechanics.  Arturio
Merzario was part of this group driving a beautifully prepared Giulietta
spider.  It was a very stylish and impressive group that managed to
consistently park together in the most prominent and photogenic locations
every day.
