“Just follow the F40!” Not something I have said before but when my pal asked me which junction we needed to exit the motorway, it sounded so much better than “this one.” The F40 had just passed us, by the way, and it was obvious that we were both heading to the same event. So where were we going on this bright spring morning (4th May)?

Fiat through OSCA at Concorso https://velocetoday.com/fiat-through-osca-at-concorso/ https://velocetoday.com/fiat-through-osca-at-concorso/#comments Tue, 06 Sep 2022 03:16:53 +0000 https://velocetoday.com/?p=140335

What car?

Photos by Brandes Elitch

Last week we brought you a report from Concorso Italiano, but only published half of the photos supplied by Brandes Elitch. This week we present photos of the Fiats through OSCA and beyond.

And like last week there are a few that are either not identified or incorrectly identified. As Elitch wrote last week, “Because of the informal nature of this show, the cars on display do not have placards that show who the owner is or where they live. This is why we are not able to show the owner’s name in the accompanying pictures.” And which is why we need your help.

We are always happy and amazed at the turnout at Concorso, thanks to these clubs and many volunteer workers:
-Abarth Enthusiasts Worldwide
-The Alfa Romeo Association and the Alfa Romeo Owners Club
-Pantera International Club
-Ferrari Club of America
-Ferrari Owners Club
-FIAT America
-ISO and Bizzarrini Owners Club
-Lamborghini Club of America and Lamborghini Owners Club
-American Lancia Club
-The Maserati Club – CA

Uhle’s 8C Maserati https://velocetoday.com/uhles-8c-maserati/ https://velocetoday.com/uhles-8c-maserati/#comments Tue, 26 Apr 2022 03:14:35 +0000 https://velocetoday.com/?p=136985

From the VeloceToday Archives, November 2017

Story by Pete Vack

It was not unlikely that Henry W. Uhle II should have decided to own a Grand Prix Maserati. He was, after all, an engineer and a yacht designer whose career spanned 48 years. From 1945 until retiring in 1987, he was a project engineer for Sparkman & Stephens Inc., New York City and before that, from 1941 until 1945, he was a naval architect for various shipyards. Born in 1920, Henry was also one of the breed of postwar U. S. foreign car enthusiasts and had the kind of mentality that could appreciate what the Maserati brothers were doing in Italy.
