Why Alfa Romeo Uses A Four Leaf Clover - Past Gas #253
Listen now
Description
This week, the guys do a deep dive into one of the oldest Italian marques still in business. How did they become so dominant in racing? What made their team driver, Enzo Ferrari, so mad at them that he left to start his own business? And how did an American movie starring Dustin Hoffman springboard them back into the zeitgeist? This is the history of Alfa Romeo, Part One.
