Alfa Romeo Super Flow I

Vehicle Overview

The Alfa Romeo Super Flow I: The full name of the car is Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Super Flow. Initially, it was a racing car with a Colli body. It was driven by the legendary Juan Manuel Fangio and even took second place in the Mille Miglia race in 1953. Later, the car was given to Pininfarina which removed the bodywork and used the 6C 3000 CM chassis as a lab on wheels, improving aerodynamics. From 1956 to 1960, chassis number 1361.00128 changed four different bodies, but the first one, called Super Flow, was the most interesting. The body of the car had a sloping plexiglass roof, fins at the stern, and – most importantly! – transparent front fenders, also made of plexiglass. Apparently, this decision was not very effective, because all subsequent versions of the Super Flow were with conventional front fenders.
