Wine Country Classic 2004
-- Group 1 -- PreWar Cars
Some of the most photogenic cars of all!
Your webmaster didn't have much time to photograph them due to pit duties,
but here are a couple of shots. I'll make up for it next year or
at Monterey!

Longtime aficionado of PreWar Grand
Prix Cars, Peter Giddings of Alamo, CA romped to an easy
win with his 3000cc. 1935 Alfa Romeo 8C.
Historian David Seielstad on the Alfa:
"Gidding's Alfa (Tipo C) is an 8C35 serial
50013. Ex-Scuderia Ferrari, then sold to Hans Ruesch and won the
1936 Donnington with Dick Seaman co-driving." |
