The Aprile Roadster was originally constructed as a supercharged Gran Sport chassis in 1931 bodied by Zagato as a racing car.The car was purchased with extensive damage in 1938 by Giuseppe Aprile, a coachbuilder in Savona who intended to rebody the Alfa in a style that would showcase the abilities of his Carrosserie. Aprile commissioned Count Revelli de Beaumont to designed the body.<\/p>\n

The rebodied car was sold by Aprile to its third owner who kept the car until 1956. From that time until 2008 the car was part of a private collection and was rarely seen publicly.<\/p>\n

The current owner, Mialanese architect and noted Alfa Romeo collector Corrado Lopresto, acquired the Aprile in 2008. A restoration has taken place since that time, culminating in the car’s recent debut at the 2012 Pebble Beach Concours d\u2019Elegance.<\/p>\n

Other automobiles featured in the Pre- and Post-War Sports and Grand Touring classes include a 1935 Adler Trumpf Jr. roadster, a 1938 HRG Airline Saloon, 1947 Delahaye 135 MS Teardrop Coupe bodied in Switzerland by Langenfeld, 1953 Cunningham C-3 Vignale Coupe and 1957 BMW 503 Cabriolet.<\/p>\n

Cadillac is the featured classic marque for the 2012 Louisville Conconcours d\u2019Elegance, with other special classes honoring Porsche Racing and Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg. Other classes include Vintage, American and European Classics, Post-War American Hardtops and Convertibles, Corvettes and Muscle Cars.<\/p>\n

The Louisville Concours d\u2019Elegance benefits Kosair Childrens Hospital in Louisville. Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate.<\/p>\n
