1935 Alfa Romeo 6 C Aerodinamica Spider

HI-RES GALLERY: 1935 Alfa Romeo 6 C Aerodinamica Spider

The central California coast is in the throes of the run-up to the 2010 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, and that means we're neck-deep in unbelievable cars. We spent this afternoon milling about the 2010 Quail Lodge Motorsports Gathering to bring you a sampling of the people-moving pulchritude on display. Installment one: the Alfa Romeos.

This isn't the full Alfa contingent at the show, but a quick highlight reel of the ones that caught our eyes and captured our hearts. Check out the galleries below for the details on each.

1935 Alfa Romeo 6 C Aerodinamica Spider

This car, owned by Georg Gebhard of Germany, is a one-off example of a secret project intended to beat the uber-cars of Daimler Benz and Auto Union during the pre-war bullet-car battles. The project wasn't completed, however, due to the dismissal of the head of development. Instead, Gina and Oscar Jankovitz, partners in the project, finished the car as a sports racer, mounting a 6C 2300 engine rated at 105 horsepower behind the driver. After a brief post-war stint the car lay dormant until 1967, when it was found in England. From there it went back to Italy in 2002 before arriving with its current owner.
