If you read last week’s blog about “Macchinissima” (of course you did), you knew that I was out in Los Angeles for several days last week. We northeast car collectors have long envied the advantages that southwest collectors have, with cars that avoid the ravages of rust (although their hot and sunny climate can wreak havoc on paint and upholstery). My first visit to L.A. was in 1977 as a twenty-three-year-old, and I never got over the sensation of having stepped into a time warp, seeing fifteen-year-old Chevys and Fords still on the road, which was definitely not something I saw on the streets of New York City.
But just because the sheetmetal lasts longer doesn’t mean that Los Angelenos keep their cars forever. We still live in a car-obsessed culture and the desire for the newest, flashiest, fastest vehicle that fits the budget pulls people into showrooms like bait on a hook. California is no exception and most cars and trucks on the road are newer. Still, when an older car makes an appearance, it sticks out, and I managed to snap a few interesting ones on this trip.
This very clean Datsun 280Z drove past us, then the owner parked it on the street like it was an Altima.
Along Venice Beach was this surfboard-laden VW Bus.
This lightly-modded early ’50s Chevy featured interior mood lighting.
Around the corner from the Chevy was this blacked-out Dodge Dart.
A Lincoln Mark III with gansta whitewalls (and maybe a TV in the back?)
A local parking garage yielded this clean Ford Ranchero
Just a few spots from the Ranchero was this ’60s Jaguar Mark II with a “for sale” sign. No asking price listed, though.
An International Scout, still scouting. Pretty soon the EV version will be on the streets.
What’s with all the doodads on this modern Jag? Why, it’s a Waymo! We drove past several of these and there’s no one behind the wheel. It’s fully autonomous, and no, we did not see a single one crash.
Several weeks ago, my wife and I planned a quick, four-night visit to the L.A. area to spend time with her brother, who has lived in Southern Cal for the last thirty years. After securing our airline tickets and hotel room, I searched the ‘net to see what else was going on. I stumbled across a car show scheduled for Saturday September 27 in downtown L.A. called Macchinissima. The name is a made-up word that even the locals can’t pronounce, and I discovered that most folks have shortened it to “Macchi.” Works for me. Now in its third year, it is a display of 100% Italian machinery and culture: cars, motorbikes, bicycles, food, drink, and music. I bought my ticket before leaving NJ, and at 9 a.m. Saturday morning, my wife and BIL dropped me off. (And by the way, why does NO ONE believe me when I say that my visit to Los Angeles during Macchinissima was a complete coincidence??)
Rolling Greens was the name of the spot hosting the show
At first, I wondered about my surroundings. I was in an industrial neighborhood with low-rise offices and warehouses, and graffiti plastered on every outside wall. The first show cars I spotted were all 105/115 series Alfa coupes and Spiders from the ‘60s and ‘70s, and I thought that this might be everything. As soon as I made a left turn through an open gate, the rest of the show opened up before me. The outside automotive displays extended as far as I could see, and the two buildings on either side of me were open and filled with more mechanical treasures. Besides the Alfas, within the first ten minutes I spotted Ferraris, Fiats, Lancias, and four Lamborghinis: two Miuras (both orange) and two Espadas. The hip L.A. crowd ranged from Millennials to Boomers of both sexes, absorbing the culture through all five senses. My wife had jokingly asked if she should pick me up in an hour. I realized now that I would be sticking around for most of the day.
The show’s organizers worked hard to make this something other than your typical car show. Vehicles were placed in small groups based on make, or model, or even color. There was no attempt to cram as many cars as possible onto the showfield; in fact, the spaciousness around some cars was refreshing and assisted with my (and others’) photographic efforts. The aforementioned graffiti actually provided a unique background for pictures. Inside one of the buildings, cheekily named the “Redrum,” every car was some shade of red. Instead of monotonous, it worked (helped by the popularity of rosso on Italian cars).
The evening before the show, I took a chance and emailed Elyse Barrett, who is the Managing Editor of the Alfa Romeo Owner’s Club (AROC) national magazine, Alfa Owner. She has published several articles of mine in the past, and we have never met. I was thrilled to hear back from her, informing me that she would be there. We found each other, and she and her husband Jim were very giving of their time with me.
There were almost too many highlights to call all of them out here, but for starters, there was a new Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale supercar; a DeTomaso Vallenuga; a 1935 Fiat Biallia; a Lancia Stratos; and my favorite car of the show, a one-off custom 1974 Alfa Spider with significantly modified sheetmetal, a custom interior, and a three-liter Busso V6 jammed under the hood (more about that car below). Italian cultural highlights included a coffee bar, an adult-drinks bar, pizza, Italian heroes, and gelato. If there was a disappointment, and it would be a minor one, it was the relatively small number of Fiats. There were no 124s of any body style, no 130s, no 850s, and a lone Fiat Dino, a Spider. Not sure if this was by choice or by availability.
At Macchi, pizzas are za’s, sandwiches are sandos, and drinks are bevies. Must be a local thing.A much-needed afternoon pick-me-up
We have many wonderful concours on the East Coast, including Lime Rock, New Hope, and Hershey, all of which have been covered extensively on this blog. However, Macchinissima has no rivals on my home turf. While I wouldn’t make the long trek every year, it might be worth winging my way back every second or third year for the one-day immersion in La Dolce Vita, automotive style.

The 1974 Alfa Spider Custom
I approached this car and could not make sense of what I was seeing. The windshield, door handles, headlights, and instrument panel left no doubt about its Spider origins. Or was I hallucinating? Not a single body panel looked like any Alfa Spider I had ever seen before. The grille was there, but the hood’s center section was raised. The side scallops were obliterated, replaced by smooth sheetmetal that reminded me of a ’50s or ’60s Ferrari Spider. The tail end, with its large round lights, was reminiscent of a Fiat Dino. What was this? Who built it? Was there more than one of these lurking somewhere? Personally, I found the changes to be breathtakingly beautiful, and I am at heart an “all original” kind of guy who eschews customization of almost any kind. All morning long I kept circling back, hoping to run into someone who knew the story. Finally, after lunch, the hood was opened, and yet another surprise: a 3.0L Alfa “Busso” V6 sat there looking like the car was born with it. The owner was present. I gushed. He told me that he is an architect, and he did 100% of the design work. But it was his brother, a “master metal fabricator,” who brought this dream to reality. Wow. If one popped up for sale, I would need to talk to my financial advisor to figure out a way to put in my garage.
The proud owner

FERRARI
(Above) One of the few new cars at the show was this 2025 Ferrari 12Cilindri. These photos do not do justice to the visual impact of this drop-dead gorgeous automobile. Yours for a cool half-million. Oops! Looks like it’s sold out.
Sunday, September 21, 2025 was a busy day for participating members of AROC’s New Jersey Chapter as we found ourselves at three different locations throughout central NJ from early morning until mid-afternoon. Our optional start began at 8:30 a.m. at Colonial Park in Franklin Township in Somerset County. There, eight of us converged for a simple and quick breakfast of muffins, donuts, and coffee. Promptly at 9:15, the five Alfas (well, one was a Tonale which the Italian factory mislabeled as a Dodge Hornet), ably led by Bill DiPrima in his 164, caravanned to the Grounds for Sculpture.
Enjoying breakfast at Colonial Park
There, we met up with many more of our fellow Alfisti (and one amico driving a Fiat 500 Abarth) who arrived at the museum separately. The Grounds for Sculpture staff had granted our request for secure private parking, and once we were all parked and locked, we had three hours to wander through the expansive grounds and buildings. (See the Sidebar for more about the Grounds for Sculpture.)
We reconvened at the cars at 1 p.m., and caravanned from there to Rossi’s Bar and Grill, where they were expecting us. Their extensive menu included pizza (“tomato pie”, actually), burgers, sandwiches, and more. The food and service were both wonderful, and our party split up around 3 p.m. for the rides home.
Besides Bill’s 164 and my Bertone coupe, other classic Alfas included two Spiders. Modern machinery in addition to the Italian Hornet and the Abarth included a Guilia sedan and a 4C. I will again comment how wonderful it is to be part of a club where both older and newer models of the same marque are equally welcome (and all kidding aside, we also open our arms to drivers of anything Italian).
A very big grazie goes to our Event Coordinator Bill DiPrima who oversaw today’s arrangements, and to Paul Mitchell who chose and scheduled our luncheon stop.

SIDEBAR: The Grounds for Sculpture
This was my third or fourth visit to this funky, offbeat, and diverse display of artwork. I won’t delve into the details which are better found here at this link anyway. But this most recent stop was the first time I spent most of my time outdoors, and with very cooperative weather overhead, there was lots to take in. The sampling of photos below give you some idea of what to expect. If you are ever in the area, or even if you are not, it’s worth the trip.
Our local Catholic Church held its annual picnic on Sunday, September 14, 2025, and for the first time, a parishioner worked to include an informal car show as part of the festivities. I drove my ’67 Alfa Romeo to the event, which was all of two miles away, and was delighted to find an assortment of vehicles on display (even if it was a little heavy on the Corvettes, with four in attendance).
The weather was perfect, and more than one attendee stopped to admire my car and its originality. My wife and I partook of the BBQ food, and after about three hours, the crowds dispersed, and I was back home in a matter of minutes. Nice cars, nice people, and nice weather converged to create a great afternoon!
On Tuesday, September 9, 2025, members of the NJ Region of the AACA gathered at the Long Valley (NJ) Brew Pub for lunch and conversation. These mid-week meetings started earlier this year and are chaired by Abe, one of our more active club members. While previous luncheons had started with a brief tour from a common meeting point to the destination, this one omitted the drive, which for me was a disappointment. However, the collection of special-interest automobiles, combined with the group’s camaraderie, made up for that deletion.
As many of you know, I love to drive my Alfa Romeo (15,000 miles and counting during twelve years of ownership), and I did get to enjoy a spirited run up and back on Route 517 between Oldwick and Long Valley. This was a road made for a lightweight sports coupe with a high-revving engine.
With the Alfa in third gear, at 40 to 50 mph the engine was turning between four and five grand. At this speed and in this gear, the motor responded instantly to the slightest touch of the accelerator pedal. Both hands stayed on the wheel with eyes glued forward, and I was “in the zone.” I could have driven back and forth on that winding asphalt all day long.
Where was I? Oh, lunch. We had over a dozen AACA members and significant others, arriving in a variety of mostly American cars of the ‘50s through ‘80s. The only other import besides my Italiana macchina was Doug’s immaculate 1991 Miata, a special-edition model in what Mazda called British Racing Green. Other cars included a ubiquitous ’57 Chevy, a Ford Granada, a downsized but still-large ‘80s Cadillac, a Mustang convertible, and an ‘80s Mercury Cougar.
A pair of greens
The restaurant was not crowded, and the service and food were exemplary. I’ve been to this Brew Pub many times before, and have always enjoyed the experience. I know that Abe, the event’s chairperson, has two more luncheons on the calendar for this year. I will do my best to join one or both of them before storing my steed for the winter.

We East Coasters caught a real break with the weather, as our climate moved away from the hot and humid conditions of July and August and into cooler and less humid (but still sunny) days to close out the month. This made our annual trip to Lime Rock Park on the Sunday of Labor weekend even more enjoyable. This year, two of my NJ-AROC (NJ Chapter of the Alfa Romeo Owners Club) buddies rode along in the persons of Bob C. and Paul M., both of whom took care of all the driving! All I had to do was sit back and relax.
We arrived at the track at exactly 10 a.m., grabbed some coffee, and proceeded to the show cars. As always, there were special classes designated by the show organizers, as well as the popular “Gathering of the Marques,” populated by local clubs as well as individuals who wanted to show off their rides without preregistering for any particular class. This year, classes included the 50th Anniversary of the BMW 3-Series, One-owner Cars, “Body Doubles” (essentially replicars), Porsche 356s, Spirit of the Roadster, Designs of Giorgetto Giugiaro, Hemi Evolution, and Classic Ferrari V12 Coupes. In other words, something for (almost) everyone.
As we began our stroll, someone tipped us off that the cars in the “Marques” section might start to leave early, so we decided to beeline to the end of the show, where we would reverse our direction and slowly take in the displays. I’m glad we did because vehicles began departing by 11:45 a.m.! This was the only disappointing aspect of the day, but we still got to see what we came for. One highlight was the larger-than-usual turnout of Alfa Romeos, including two modern 4Cs and three Zagato GT Juniors. Mustangs were out in their usual large numbers, but the BMW headcount looked a bit shrunken, especially lacking in 2002s. The Ferrari V12 coupes were my personal highlight, as it included two 330/365 GTCs, my all-time favorite model from this fabled Italian marque.
The award ceremony began at 1:30 p.m. and concluded soon after, and that’s when the real exodus started. Mental note for next year: try to arrive a little earlier and be aware that many show cars depart sooner than might be expected. We three decided to tour the paddocks, as we were in no rush to hit the road, finally getting underway about 3:30 p.m. Except for some unexpected traffic on the NYS Thruway, the drive up and back was a joy. Lime Rock’s Labor Day Sunday show is a permanent event on my calendar.
ONE OWNER CARS
A more careful reading of some of the placards on cars in the class revealed that several of them are “one-family owned,” slightly different than “one owner.”

This class disappointed me, not for its cars, but for its paucity, although I suspect that a few cars in this class may have departed before I got to this display.

CLASSIC FERRARI V12 COUPES
The Ferrari 330 GTC (later renamed 365 GTC when its engine was enlarged) has a shape which has charmed me since I first saw a photograph of one in a magazine as a thirteen-year-old. This year I was honored to find two of these on display, one in classic red and the other in Pino Verde (pine green).

The featured vehicle this year was the VW bus, in its various generations. It looked like there were perhaps fifteen buses on display, making for a colorful lineup. Of course, other Volkswagens were there as well, but I noted a surprising lack of water-cooled VWs, at least compared to what I’ve seen at New Hope previously. Porsches dominated the show field, although Alfa Romeo wasn’t far behind in the count. British cars, mostly MGs and Triumphs, also made a strong showing.
In general, New Hope limits show entries to vehicles twenty-five years old and older, in original and “show-ready” condition. A small number of exceptions are made, primarily for low-volume vehicles which continued to be sold in this market beyond the year 2000. Judging is taken very seriously, and focuses on originality and condition.
The school parking lot limits the show size in a good way. It’s easy to park, wander in, and stroll around the lot, taking in all the show vehicles in just a few hours. The New Hope Auto Show, which began in 1957, shows no sign of slowing down.
Although the New Jersey and Delaware Valley (PA) AROC Chapters are geographically adjacent, it’s rare that cars and owners from both chapters converge at the same event. One recent exception has been the New Hope Auto Show, an eastern Pennsylvania mainstay for collector car buffs since 1957. It is a two-day show, with American brands displayed on Saturday, and imports on Sunday. This year, the Sunday show fell on August 10, and among the BMWs, Benzes, Morgans, MGs, VWs, and Volvos were seventeen Alfa Romeos, one of the largest classes that day. New Hope, with few exceptions, strictly limits show cars to those twenty-five years and older, but Alfa is one of the exceptions. We requested, and were granted, allowance to include cars up to model year 2025. As a result, there were two 4Cs, a Stelvio, and a Tonale scattered among the classic Alfa coupes, Spiders, and Berlinas.
A team of four judges, led by NJ Chapter president Enrico Ciabattoni and including Mike Gomolinski, Paul Mitchell, and Richard Reina, took on the unenviable task of deciding which six cars (three in the Closed Class and three in the Open Class) were worthy of ribbons. After spending three hours in the blazing summer sun inspecting paint, upholstery, glass, wheels, and all the greasy bits, the team made its decisions:
Open Class:
1st Place: Greg Shpungin, 2016 4C Spider
2nd Place: Steve Buchanan, 1985 Spider
3rd Place: Tim O’Riordan, 1967 Duetto
Closed Class:
1st Place: Maurice Arcangeli, 1989 Milano
2nd Place: Bill Conway, 1982 GTV-6
3rd Place: John Coyle, 1974 GTV
Somewhat new this year was the drive-by conducted for all 1st place winners. Greg in his yellow 4C and Maurice in his black Milano made for a most attractive combination as they motored up to receive their ribbons.
Winning an award at the New Hope Auto Show is considered a great honor. All judging is held to a very high standard, and the show’s reputation is highly regarded among those in the hobby. Congratulations to the winners!
Special thanks to fellow NJ-AROC club member Bob Cooley for his kind permission to use many of his photos from the New Hope Car Show.
I’ve known about the Thursday cruise nights for a while, but did not get a chance to attend until this week, so there we were, my trusty Alfa companion and myself, on August 7, 2025. I arrived promptly at 5 p.m., the official starting time, to find very few parking spots remaining. I parked next to my friend John’s beautiful teal blue “retro-Bird,” and as cars continued to file in, they were directed to park on the grass behind the paved lot. More than one attendee was overheard to say that this was possibly the biggest crowd of the season at the Spinning Wheel, no doubt helped by the tremendous weather, with temps in the low 80s and low humidity.
Glancing around, I quickly surmised that my Italian mistress was the only furrin car there. In actuality, most of the cars were either ‘50s and ‘60s muscle cars, or street rods of one kind or another. I felt out of my element until a few other imports showed up. John and I walked the lot together, taking in the variety of vehicles on display, which included not one but two 1940 Fords, an assortment of Thunderbirds, a Triumph, an MG, a Miata, and Corvettes of various vintages. I’m sorry, but if you’re driving a C8 Corvette (and there were several) to a “collector car cruise night,” you’re just showing off. I get the appeal, but a C8 parked next to a C2 makes it blatantly obvious which I’d rather have in my garage.
My wife arrived to join me for dinner in the diner (and for which I had a 10% off coupon as a show participant), and after the meal, I was ready to head home. At about 7:30 p.m., I hopped into my car, started it up, and saw that the representative from Cars & Coffee of Central Jersey, who was hosting the event, ran up to my open window to present me with a trophy! I’m not sure what I won or how my car was selected, but it was a nice gesture nevertheless. The diner is only a thirty-minute ride to my house, so I was back by eight, which made for an easy night. All in all, it was a fun way to spend a Thursday evening.

Saturday morning, August 2, 2025, dawned cool and bright. What a change it was compared to the steamy hot and humid weather we had no choice but to tolerate all week. The Alfa fired up without hesitation, and at exactly 6:45 a.m., I was out the driveway, on my way to Das Awkscht Fescht in Macungie, PA. Traffic was light, and I was in my parking spot in Class #7, Sports Cars, by 8 a.m. Having skipped breakfast at home, my first order of duty was to head to the refreshment building in search of a morning meal. A fried egg sandwich and hot coffee set me back all of $5.50. Food in tow, I walked back to my car, set up my folding chair, and settled in to watch the parade of cars entering Macungie Memorial Park.
An E-Type roadster enters the park
This was the 62nd annual “Fescht,” an event we more commonly refer to simply as “Macungie” for obvious reasons. I’ve been here many times before, going as far back as the 1980s, long before I owned anything resembling a show-worthy vehicle. A particularly fond memory is bringing my BMW Isetta here, trailered of course, where it was well-received by the spectators. But today, it was the Alfa’s turn to shine, and it did with aplomb, surrounded as it was by British, German, and Japanese sporting machinery. As far as I was able to observe, it was the only Alfa Romeo, and one of the very few Italian cars at the event.
’50s era cars were in abundance
At many car shows, the majority of vehicles on display are the thoroughbreds: the sporty convertibles, muscle cars, luxury barges, and high-end machinery of their time. At Macungie, of course, there were plenty of Mustangs, Corvettes, Thunderbirds, Rivieras, Imperials, and the like. What struck me this year was the preponderance of four-door cars, cars that were more likely to be spotted in the driveways and parking lots of post-World-War-Two America. It was more exciting, frankly, to stumble upon a 1960 Chrysler New Yorker sedan, something I rarely see at a show, than it was a Chevy Camaro. (And no offense to you Camaro lovers out there, but it was the featured car of the weekend, with Camaros of every generation on display.)
A small portion of the Camaro display
I did my best to photograph the cars that struck me as most interesting, but I also wanted to stay near my car to chat it up with passers-by. I ran into many friends, old and new, and the freshly-detailed Alfa earned its share of compliments. By 4 p.m. it was time to head home, and my fifty-eight-year-old Italian steed got me there without complaint, for a total round-trip drive of one hundred and twenty-four miles. It was one of the best Macungie shows in recent memory.

This ’64 Fairlane Sports Coupe stood out for me for its rarity and its equipment, including hi-po 289, manual transmission, bucket seats, and center console. I spoke with the long-term owner, who is elderly and doesn’t drive it anymore. She depends on her son to get the car back and forth for car shows. It’s mostly original, but has significant rust in the rear quarters.

I met my good friend Mike L. at a car show a few years back, and we typically run into each other, either at Macungie and/or at New Hope. He was here this year with his sidekick Barry, and they brought out the German contingent for the Saturday show. Mike specializes in collecting nice, unrestored, original condition cars, as these four were:
