On a recent trip to Philly for Ande’s art show, I engaged full dork mode and carried my camera around my neck. I caught a trio of blue hatchbacks, a Defender 90, a 300 TE, a 524td, and a 164B.
The best part was waiting in the parking lot to spot the 164 driver. I wouldn’t normally do that in Indiana, but I figured that someone in Philly would be acclimated to, you know, meeting new people. The occupants of the Alfa turned out to be a small gray-hair in a suit, joined by a similarly-clad but 110% scale partner.
So what did they say?
I complimented him on the condition of his, and told him that I have a 95 164LS. He smiled and said “mines a 91 164B” or something close to that. He was comically curt.
I really enjoyed how small the car made him seem. They are deceptively tall cars – the deception being a testament to great proportions.
