The staff of Alfa Romeo came back from World War 2 to find the factory in Portello destroyed by three fifth. After they rebuilt it the production of pre-war cars started again, but they were too expensive and didn’t met the customers interests. So Alfa started developing a new model which debuted in 1950 as the Alfa Romeo 1900. Next to the Berlina called sedan which was built until 1959 some coachbuilders produced some nice small-volume series as well as one-offs. This was a bit harder to achieve due to the self-supporting bodywork compared to pre-war constructions.

Next to Pininfarina, Ghia or Zagato it was Touring from Milan who built nice looking Coup\u00e9s and Convertibles \u2013 partly with direct order from Alfa Romeo. One of these low-volume series was the 1900 Corto Gara. Corto means ‘short’ for a shortened and strengthened platform and Gara means ‘competition’ as this car was intended for racing only. But three customers ordered this car in a Stradale version for the road with more comfort. While the racecar showed a split windscreen and plexiglass rear windows, the Stradale got a one-piece windscreen and normal glass. It also was fitted with bumpers and an abbreviated boot lid. Today only three examples of the Corto Gara are still known to exist, two of them being Stradales.<\/p>\n\n\n
