The “Alfetta” – 158 and then 159 – of the first two Formula 1 World Championships: in 1950 with Nino Farina and in 1951 with Juan Manuel Fangio. A career started in 1938, a whole war hidden under a woodpile, and the great payback in the postwar period. But also a continuous and ceaseless evolution that took it from 195 to 450 HP, always with the “usual” 8-cylinder 1.5L supercharged engine. The vehicle on display, donated by Alfa Romeo in 1956, is a 159, but it preserves the body and lines of its ancestor, the 158.
