Story by James Lanoway
Fritz and Theresa Duernberger came to Vancouver, B.C., in 1966 after five years in Houston, Texas, where Fritz’s parents lived after emigrating from Salzburg, Austria in 1961. Fritz’s fascination with Alfas began at age 14 in Salzburg when he saw a two-tone light green Giulietta Sprint with a darker green roof outside the machine shop where he was an apprentice.
