Description


This is a photo of my father and his car. He had it custom built in 1929 from Montescani & C, from an Alfa Romeo frame and engine, as it was usual at the time. With it he won a first prize for the best radio installation in Italy, a pocket watch with chain and medal (a radio in the car was advanced technology at the time, antenna incorporated in the canopy). The car came with a set of curious gadgets, as a fixed jack on each side, so you could easily lift it and change a tire. And a custom made leather bag that exactly fitted the rather small trunk. I still had the oddly shaped bag in the basement until some years ago.

Great capture and story. If you still had the car in your possession today it would be worth a bundle1
