Uh, the Pete Giddings car was NOT the 8C2900B. The Giddings car is an 8C35
Grand Prix car from 1935. The 8C2900 car was the gorgeous, sleek, black 1938
sports car with the fender skirts on the rear wheels and the walnut dash
board that was parked next to the Alfa tent. It belongs to the John Mozart
collection. There is an article about it on page 45 of the souvenir guide
book that you should have received when you came in yesterday morning.
