FIAT-Lancia Unlimited Hosts the First Annual Hellertown Italian Car Show

Hellertown, PA – Club FIAT-Lancia Unlimited (FLU) will host the First Annual Hellertown Italian Car Show on Saturday, June 9th, 2012, opening at 9 am. This event, to be held at the lovely and shady Reservoir Park, at 3376 Reservoir Road, just south of Bethlehem and a few minutes off Rt. 78, will be a very “all inclusive” show, welcoming everything from daily driver FIATs through Alfas, Lancias and Etceterinis all the way up to concours Ferraris, Lamborghinis and the like. Italian bikes are welcome too. The more the merrier; we love variety. In addition, for this year, we will be inviting our friends with Swedish cars up through Volvo models 140 and Saabs through model 99 and French cars to bring them along, too. Italian food will be available. $15 per car by May 31st, $20 at the gate.
We’ll also have brand new FIAT 500s on display, courtesy of FIAT of Montgomeryville. To help celebrate the return of the beloved Italian brand, Club FIAT-Lancia Unlimited has launched a new website at www.flu.org. Fans of the brand can learn more about the event, find registration information and also read all the latest about both new and vintage vehicles and the joys of ownership.

Spring 2012 Tech Session

March 11th, 2012 | Posted by dvaroc in Calendar 2012 - (Comments Off)

Once again Ruth and Vince at Falcone’s have graciously offered to host the spring tech session. We’re booked for April 14th at 10:00. This year’s topic is From Stock to Hot Street to Race Prep, or: How to Squeeze Every Drop of Fun from your Alfa!

Ruth and Vince are going to take us through several stages of upgrades and we get to see some of them implemented on member cars and Ruth’s nearly-completed race prepped GTV. It promises to be an exciting and informative session.

 

The Classics at Brantwyn

January 9th, 2012 | Posted by Mike S. - President in admin updates | Calendar 2012 | From the President - (Comments Off)

Alfisti, this note came in from Paul Merluzzi:

Hi,

I was the “foreigner” in the green Jaguar XK-150 at the Alfa Club tour on November 6.

I run a benefit car show for the Kennett Symphony Orchestra. It is an elegant affair with 30 invited cars and 300 invited guests. Here is a Fact Sheet and a Newsletter to check out.

The event is scheduled for October 7 this year (always the 1st Sunday in October). It’s the 5th anniversary of the event and we are trying to get participation by car clubs, like the Alfa Club, Ferrari Club, and Delaware Valley Jaguar Club. The 30 (approx.) show cars are displayed in the rear garden of the Brantwyn Mansion. In the front of the mansion there is a huge lawn area that we designate as “The Cool Car Corral”. That’s where we put the car clubs in clusters. We have a committee meeting next week where we will discuss pricing for the event and I hope to offer a discount to car clubs if participation exceeds a certain number of cars.

It is not like most car shows – it’s more like a wedding reception. The guests get a gourmet brunch and open bar catered by the DuPont Country Club with live entertainment. Mike Tate has attended the last three events and has written about it in his Roving Reporter column for the Jaguar Club monthly newsletter, the ‘Purr’ (See page 8).

I’d love to have the Alfa Club participate as a club event. Let me know if there is any interest.

Regards,
Paul

 

Club members:

Now, this seems like a lot of fun if we can get some steam behind it. If any club members are interested, let’s try to get some consensus going, so email me at mike@dvaroc.org and fit this in the club calendar.
