At the end of WWII, Alfa Romeo was in need to replace the big 6C model. The new car was lighter and smaller, designed under the supervision of Orazio Satta Puliga. It was the “Alfona” for the most, the “Pantera” par excellence, “the family car that wins the races” in the advertising. The Alfa Romeo 1900, built between 1950 and 1959, was the first Alfa Romeo entirely built on assembly line, monocoque and left-hand drive. The twin-cam engine was a 4-cylinder (for a lower taxation), 1.9-liter delivering 90 hp for a top speed in excess of 170 km/h. Giuseppe Busso provided to the chassis, Consalvo Sanesi to the testing, the shape was designed by Orazio Satta Puliga and Antonio Alessio. Gaetano Ponzoni, from Carrozzeria Touring, suggested the finishing touches. Inside there was room for two three-seater sofas. The 1900 four-door sedan was the only model available, until the introduction of the coupe in 1951 and the TI saloon in 1952. A total of 17,243 cars were produced. The 1952 Alfa Romeo 1900 sedan, chassis AR02163 has interiors redone as well as the chrome plating. Bodywork in good condition, some interventions are to be foreseen to make it perfect. Mechanics overhauled in many parts and in perfect working order. History entirely reconstructable with chronological excerpt. The first owner was a company in Genova that used it, presumably, for official purposes and for the management. Several changes of ownership following, then the car arrived in San Marino losing, unfortunately, the original Italian plates. It was then reimported to Italy and re-registered. The car has the original radio and original rubber mats. Use and maintenance manual in photocopy.
