Italian Car Show located at Reina International in Milwaukee (Brookfield) on Sunday, August 7th.

Italian Style and Italian Colors:

Even the famous Italian Family Car "The Small Car for the Big Italian Family" was there:

Ferraris to the Left...

and to the Right:

Not Everything that is Red is a Ferrari (nor are all Ferraris "Rosso"):



Bill Hall's Beautiful Maserati Ghibli in Foreground

 

Lamborghini Row:

 

My Favorites of the Show:

Lancia Flaminia Sport Zagato "Double Bubble" GT Coupe 

 This is not a customized car, it is an original.

 Beautiful Italian dash is all business, note the original wood steering wheel

 The car's design is so well executed its door handle is even a piece of art

1971 Fiat 500L imported from Holland - a Dante Giacosa designed masterpiece.

 1974 Fiat X1/9 in excellent condition.  This car is Bertone design and built and is one of the world's first mid-engine production cars.  The 1974 model year (shown below) is the first year imported to the U.S. and the only year of the small bumperettes in the U.S.



A "built" Fiat twin cam motor in a c, 1974 Fiat 124 Spider.  This motor has most of the modifications including the twin Weber carbs - s/b good for 200 bhp.

 The business end of this Ferrari, love how he stores his spare oil cans!

How to have fun with a 2.5 year old girl  at a car show, you go hunting for...

Horses:

Bulls:

 and Neptune's Trident;

New Fiat 500 looks huge next old 500 - the old one did arrive with a full family in it!

"Daddy! Baby Fiat Car like Luigi!"

"Now that's enough, no more telling me to stand in front of a car and taking my picture!"
