I'll start with the "Bonus Points" :

​

The aforementioned custom convertible with a full bar in the back seat:

​

The aforementioned 1954 Alfa Romeo Berlina Aerodinamica Tecnica 7:

1955 Al Slonaker Award Winner




Al Williams raced the B.A.T. 7 at Palm Springs (March 26-27, 1955)


The 1954 Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 7 today​

 

The three Alfa Romeo B.A.T. cars are just so dang cool!

 

I agree! . . .

1953 Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 5


1954 Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 7


1955 Alfa Romeo B.A.T. 9

Well, that's all sorted then.

 

Too bad nobody wanted those ugly BAT cars... Barely sold for any money at all!

Yep . . . For selfish reasons, I was sad that the Blackhawk Museum sold the trio (for "only" $14.84 million) . . . I always liked the fact that I could go "visit" them so close to home.

. . . and here's a snapshot of our "HEMI32" Coupe at the Blackhawk Museum back in 1996 {when it was the BEHRING AUTO MUSEUM}:

​

. . . and our "HEMI32" Coupe at the 25th Annual Oakland Roadster Show:

That dragster I know just can't place, so put a pin in that. The roadster is Bill Carash V-16 behemoth once it got the Pontiac tail lights which it still sports today.
