Cars We Buy: Alfa Romeo

The Alfa Romeo coat of arms is full of symbols that seem to tell a story about the company's history, specifically its early religious involvement. The red cross on white background represents what can be interpreted as an old crusades connection and Saint George slaying the dragon-headed snake in honour of his faith. Contrary to popular belief, this original design was actually created by Alexandre Darracq, who sought help from Italian investors for financial support.

One of the high-rollers, an aristocrat known by Ugo Stella, later became chairman for Milano based corporate entity that would have a hard time selling cars.
Ugo then took a decisive step by founding a new motor company associated with other investors and Darracq. The ALFA (Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili translated to "Lombard Motor Factory") was founded as early Alfas were undoubtedly some fine pieces that helped them make cars that appealed to the Italian market.

Alfa has been rolling with Fiat since 1986.

The marque is one of the few European ones currently unavailable in the US, having halted all exports to the North American market in 1995. However, it may plan to return to US grounds through a mutually beneficial partnership with luxury manufacturer Maserati.
