Lancia e C. Torino


 

Friday, November 4, 2022 -- Ed Cole Building at the GM Tech Center -- Warren, MI

Had not set foot on the GM Tech Center in about 26 years.

Worked for GM 1990 ~ 1996, in Newbury Park, CA.
Spent two stints working temporarily at the Design Center at the Tech Center in Warren.
6 months in 1990-1991(?) then 3 months in 1996 (was supposed to be 6 months but got cut short when they announced that they're closing the facility I worked at in CA).

Could have moved to Warren, which some people did.
I got a job at Hyundai in Fountain Valley, so decided not to go.

 

Great Cars - Alfa Romeo Monza - The autobiography of the celebrated 2211130 by Mick Walsh

The ultimate in the opposite of a general interest book!
A book about one specific car/serial #.

It's large format and printed on heavy paper stock.
Beautifully produced with many interesting photos.
Look forward to studying the photos one day...


The background/scenery is very interesting...

Looks like a dyno...

Nice driver's suits.
Recognize Nuvolari (third from left).
Enzo in the middle...

Largest Tachometer ever?
