1953 ALFA ROMEO 1900C SPRINT
Presented at the 1950 Paris Motor Show, the Alfa Romeo 1900 was designed by Orazio Satta, a one-time understudy to 1930s Grand Prix engineer Wilfredo Ricart. The marques first assembly line-built model, the 1900 utilized unitary construction that specifically allowed coachbuilders to re-body it. Advertised as the family car that wins races, the 1900 was underpinned by an independent front suspension, live rear axle, and a sprightly twin-cam, inline four-cylinder engine. Finished in silver over a striking two-tone interior, this 1953 Alfa Romeo 1900C Sprint is one of 650 first-series examples built from 19511953 featuring the C for corto or short (wheelbase) chassis and elegant 2+2 coupe bodywork from Carrozzeria Touring.
