Alfa Romeo is an iconic name in the automotive world. It’s where Enzo Ferrari got his start as a driver and team manager. A company that produced some of the most beautiful cars ever from the humble Giulia to the stunning Disco Volante.

Above all, Alfa Romeo’s history is rooted in competition. They won five Grand Prix and Formula 1 titles, four consecutive Le Mans overall victories, eleven Mille Miglias, ten Targa Florios, and countless touring car races.

We are looking forward to celebrating Alfa Romeo at Historic Festival 44 this year with several cars from our collection.

We preserve more than cars in our museum and archives. The rock chips from the track and cracks in the leather tell a larger story of each car’s past.
 
We ensure these important stories behind the metal can be told for generations to come.

Founded in 1934, the Automobile Racing Club of America (ARCA) was largely responsible for bringing European-style road racing to America. Brothers Miles, Sam, and Barron Collier played a large role in the founding of the series and its development.  
  
The group grew in popularity in the years before the war and attracted like-minded enthusiasts from across the country. Major races were organized at venues ranging from the Mt. Washington toll road to the 1940 World’s Fair (pictured here).  
  
Historic Festival 44 will feature a reunion for a number of ARCA cars including four from Revs: 
1935 MG PA/PB 
1939 Bu-Merc 
Ardent Alligator 
McMillan Special

It takes a team of people planning weeks ahead for a trip like Monterey. From prepping cars for the track and concours, to booking flights, planning posts, coordinating activations, and even more behind the scenes.
 
A big thanks to the Revs team for another successful Monterey car week. Time to get ready for a busy Lime Rock Historic Festival!
