1940 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Torpedino Brescia Giuseppe Farina
Summary
Giuseppe Farina in what looks like one of the three Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS "Torpedina Brescia" in 1940, when he competed with this kind of car in the Mille Miglia on 28 April 1940. However, this car does not have louvres on the bonnet, it has the Touring Superleggera script on bonnet, and has a different (flatter, not split rounded) windshield.
Perhaps this is around the time of that event, such as 5 May 1940. The body is a "Superleggera" (superlight) made by Carrozzeria Touring and is very similar to the Auto Avio 815, two of which also competed in this Mille Miglia.
According to Alfa Romeo historians, chassis number would be one of these: 915091 / 92 / 93.[1]
We at GetArchive are exploring new methods of image metadata augmentation and verification. Our goal is to make it possible to find images on any topic. In particular, we are trying to verify and fix historic periodization. This collection is made of historic photographs of automobiles that look as if they were taken in the 1940s. The collection is made with aid of a neural image recognition network dealing with the whole image composition rather than with the car model - some cars may be dated incorrectly. Although, while this method is surprisingly good for the purpose of dating and tagging, a certain percentage of images (less than 8%) may not represent automobile, but other vehicle type or visually similar object. Naturally, our next step should be creating numerous datasets for a particular car years&models, but as of September 2022, we found no use to justify the effort.
