The history of some is decidedly curious Alfa Romeo classics found in the United States, specifically in Detroit, the car metropolis par excellence, in a landfill. As he points out The Drive there are many models present, starting with the 164 and the legendary Duetto.
The Alfa Romeos are stored precisely on the US Auto Supply lot in Sterling Heights, Michigan, and in total they would appear more than twenty, all aligned and side by side and in undoubtedly not an excellent state. They are all covered in dust and a little rusty, with some appearing to still be able to function, while others appear with obvious signs of accidents.
Be careful, however, this is not a collection of some great American Alfa Romeo enthusiast, but simply of cars that have been decommissioned and which the landfill uses as a spare parts car.
There are some real ones jewels which to an enthusiast of Italian cars and in particular of Alfa Romeo, which recently unveiled the Milano later renamed Junior, cannot help but make heart-shaped eyes. In addition to the above 164 and Duet we also find aAlfetta and a Giulia TI.
Dean Russell he is the former custodian of the Biscione cars and currently manages a local shop in Detroit specializing in Alfa Romeos, read Trial Auto. He was the one who kept the cars until this happened a quarrel with the American city. “He told me – reports the colleague of The Drive after talking to Russell – that the cars were seized after a court order following a zoning dispute, but he still has title to the cars and intends to take them back. He declined to elaborate on what exactly was going on behind the scenes, saying she was already getting too many calls about the cars as they are”.
But how come a fleet of Alfa Romeos would have been “seized” and risks the demolition? There is no certainty but for some it could be a old dispute between the store and the city of Detroit.
While waiting to discover the truth, it is a real shame that these cars remain unused, stopped with the 4 indicators, when they could be useful to Alfa Romeo owners who require spare parts. And speaking of abandoned Biscione cars, a few weeks ago we told you about an Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA found in a garage together with a Rothmans Ford Escort, a truly crazy story.
