Today, the Larry Chen team embarks on a thrilling adventure at the Alpha Romeo Museum in Italy, joined by their trusty companion Dino. Roaming through the public and private collections, they uncover the brand's fascinating legacy in aviation engine manufacturing, a lesser-known fact that adds a new layer to Alpha's storied history. Their journey leads them to the striking Montreal V8 model, a bold creation tailored specifically for the discerning American market, showcasing Alpha's innovative spirit in adapting to different automotive landscapes.

As they delve deeper into the museum's treasures, the team encounters the unique front-engine boxer layout reminiscent of a hachiroku, sparking discussions about its engineering ingenuity and design parallels with modern-day vehicles. The allure of the Alfa Sud's front-wheel-drive configuration captivates their attention, offering a glimpse into Alpha's trailblazing approach to automotive technology. Amidst the vintage gems on display, the classic Alfa Romeo police car stands out, a testament to the brand's performance prowess and historical significance in law enforcement circles.

Their visit takes an introspective turn as they ponder Alpha's place in the automotive pantheon, drawing intriguing comparisons to the likes of Ferrari and Volkswagen. The team marvels at the timeless design and aerodynamic mastery of the Disco Volante and other iconic models, lamenting the lack of diversity in contemporary car aesthetics. Immersed in the museum's meticulously curated exhibits, they are awestruck by the pristine condition and historical value of each vehicle, with a particular emphasis on a 1938 model featuring a hand-cranked eight-cylinder engine, a relic from a bygone era of automotive craftsmanship and mechanical artistry.
