Sliding into the Archives

The below image of Paul Wilson’s Alfa 6C 2500 is the first in a slideshow; the directions are to look at the photo, and do one of two things: either click on the arrow at the center of the photo to go to the article itself, or, click on the arrow that appears on the right and left side of the photo. This will bring you to the next story, if right, or previous story, if left arrow is selected. Hence, a slide show, scrolling left and right instead of up and down.

This slide show of fourteen stories clearly demonstrates the excellence, depth and range of stories that appear every week in VeloceToday, authored by top writers and photographers from the U.S., UK, Belgium, Australia, France and Italy.

These articles all appeared in VeloceToday in 2020, some written before the pandemic, while one, authored by vintage racer Ernie Nagamatsu dramatically details the day that for him, the world changed. In 2020 Paul Wilson began his series of articles detailing how he came to create his own body on an Alfa 6C 2500 chassis; Maserati historian supremo Willem Oosthoek told the tales of two important Maserati drivers; John Waterhouse related the history of the Renault 4CV; Burt Levy described the victories and defeats of racing an Alfa in the 1970s, while the dean of motoring journalists, Graham Gauld, tells us about the amazing Dr. Wax and his cars.

And, much more. So take the time to scroll sideways for a change, and get a bit of what we did in 2020. There will be much, much more in 2022.
