James Glickenhaus becomes the 1st to get the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione in the U.S. out of 100.
A very nice looking car but it has 1 of the fugly design engine in the world for a car which cost alot.
Just look at engine, it a mess!
its like a student bedroom

Nice bodywork design! On the car and the model as well... LOL

As for the engine---my God, what a mess!!! Maybe they should
just weld the front cover shut to prevent possible buyers from
seeing that abomination!!!

Nice curves. Love the doors. The straight on nose picture is not the most flattering angle for sure.
