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!

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!!!
