[alfa] Re: alfa-digest V10 #391 1750's with Webers

Group,

1750's with Webers were imported into Canada and several made their way into
the U.S. I have a friend who still has his 1750 round tail Spider with
Webers. I think this may have been delivered through a small dealer in
Cincinnati. Things were a lot easier in those days.
