This is an interest group without fees or dues - just your personal contribution of time, talent, and energy along with others who enjoy any type of Italian cars in our area.

2014 Fall Dinner
October 2014 has been a busy month! A few car shows, a BBQ, and to wrap it up - the 2014 Fall Dinner.
This year's Fall Dinner was held at Verona Italian Restaurant. The food and service was really good and the company was great! The turnout was moderate and just a few Italian cars in the parking lot while others came from work or their Italian car is getting serviced. It's all good as the most important thing about this event was getting together to share a fine meal and enjoy each other's company and stories.
We're looking forward to November's "Sunday Drive" to southern Arizona's wine country (details coming out soon) and a brew pub meet-up in December to plan out 2015.

2014 Tucson Classics
The Tucson Classics Car Show is pretty big deal here in southern Arizona. It is one of what I would call "The Big Three" that occur in our part of the state. The others are Cars in the Park in Sierra Vista and Annual Collector Car Show in Tubac.
The Italians were represented at this year's Tucson Classics. One downside is that there was not one Fiat-badged car in the bunch. Maybe next year!
With the exception of the Southern AZ Pantera Club by proxy not many (any?) of the Italian cars at this year's show belong to formal members here, but it is good to see that these cars are out there.

SVCC's 2014 Cars in the Park - pictures of the Italian cars
The Sierra Vista Car Club's annual Cars in the Park show is a really nice event! There were a lot of beautiful cars on display. There were 332 entries - including 4 Italian cars seen here. The Fiat 500 Guggi was presented for sale at the show by a local dealership. The "Faux-rrari" GTO (Datsun 240Z-based kit) took 2nd in the 2-Seat Import class!
