For the second time in a month, a great selection of Italian cars assembled on the Island of Staten on a glorious sunny day. This time it was at the invitation of Angelina of Angelina’s Italian Restaurant at 399 Ellis Street, Staten Island, home of the best Italian food on the Island! In addition to some of the wonderful cars that showed up for the Casa Belvedere event on Staten Island in September a number of new and different cars swelled the entry list at this great show. Those that made the trip were treated to perfect weather, fantastic food and drink, a magnificent array of Italian cars of all makes, models and vintages and wonderful camaraderie. Classic Coach of Elizabeth NJ brought a trio of wonderful vintage cars including a 1953 Ferrari 375 MM, a 1961 Maserati Birdcage Tipo 63 and a beautiful 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C. The “Tax Doctor” Richard Stein brought his three modern Ferraris, a brand new 599 GTO, an Enzo and a 430 Scuderia 16M… Wow, what a garage he has! These cars were joined by many rare and interesting Italian beauties pictured below.
