What's it all about, Alfa? The Santa Fe Concorso (Post # 115)

As part of the lead-up to the Santa Fe Concorso, the Santa Fe New Mexican published this article by Anne Constable about the event including a brief reference to the Alfatross and its story. To view the entire article click on the link below. 

What's it all about, Alfa? The Santa Fe Concorso: Don Keith calls his blog about restoring his 1955 Alfa Romeo “The Alfatross” for many reasons. When he bought the “used-up old sports car” from his cousin in 1969, it was “virtually worthless.” For 47 years he dragged it around the country with him, mostly lacking the money, time, and place to restore it to its original condition. After moving to Santa Fe in 2010, Keith, an archaeologist, built a 1,700-square-foot garage and, in 2013, he began working in earnest on the restoration.
