Stradale Photos
These are photos of the King Al's Stradale being requisitioned at the Jacksonville Florida Pier straight off the boat from Italy. Complete with Fiat tour bus!! Don't know if this is Al's first, last, or whatever of his at least two Prototipos. Note Fiat 131 Wagon Tow Vehicle.....HA! I love it. Shaun Folkerts would love this photograph as he has logged many a mile towing a Fiat behind a wagon, but an Audi wagon instead of a Fiat.
The 'on the street' Stradale is on the streets of Torino and driven by the factory rally driver. Note the 'rivet indents' on the fender flares that are consistent with Consentino Stradale Photographs but that do not show up on Prototipo Corsa kits (the flares are smooth). I initially mistook this to mean that the flares were in plastic wherease it could simply mean that they were screwed in to add 'attachment strength' during heavy use. Who knows...it's cool....but you can notice that the Stradale pictures show the indent holes wherease the racing cars do not. I don't know.
Thanks go to Albert Alvarez for scanning these pictures.
