Selling a 1950 Alfa Romeo 1900

 

The Alfa Romeo 1900, one of the most recognized classics to come from this manufacturer, was first launched at the 1950 Paris Motor Show and was the company’s first car built exclusively on a production line. This was not the only “first” for the Alfa Romeo 1900, however. It was also the first time an Alfa Romeo was offered without a separate chassis and the first to offer left-hand drive. With the launch, the 1950 Alfa Romeo 1900 would be offered as a two-door Sprint Coupe, a four-door Berlina Sedan, or a two-door Cabriolet Convertible. To further add interest and performance, the Alfa Romeo 1900 now offered a new 1,884cc four-cylinder twin-cam engine, which in conjunction with the sophisticated design, gave the 1900 a quick and sporty feel. This engine, paired with a single Solex carburetor, would give the 1950 Alfa Romeo 1900 an output of 90hp and a top speed of 90mph. Owners also had the option of upgrading to a Weber double-choke carburetor with a special manifold that would give 93hp and a top speed of approximately 105mp. Production of the Alfa Romeo 1900 would begin in 1950 and would carry on until 1959, at which time approximately 21,304 examples were produced. Today, classic car collectors and Alfa Romeo enthusiasts appreciate the 1900 for being a stylish classic that can provide an excellent driving experience even by today’s standards.
