This
cars' story begins when the "Societą Italiana Automobili
Darracq" was founded in 1906 to produce low priced
cars. That company quickly ran into difficulties
as the car market that had boomed since its creation
at the start of the century now faltered so that
car sales flagged. Just before World War one european
economy was in turmoil and sales were faltering
for this upstart company.
Nicola
Romeo one of the former engineers bought up the
liquidated company with his company, "Accomandita
Ing. Nicola Romeo e Co.". In the Twenties, the company
became involved in another crisis. In 1927 there
were even thoughts of liquidation. Alfa Romeo had
made a name for itself both in Italy and abroad
and had established trade relations with America,
Spain and Britain among others.
Alfa
Romeo after restructuring fell upon an equal competitive
footing with other motor manufacturers as it was
now subsidized by the italian government.
