Article title
Should "159" be included in the title of this article, similar to the way in which both "4CL" and "4CLT" are included in the title of
- Could be good idea to rename the title, maybe Alfa Romeo 158/159 Alfetta --Typ932 07:49, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Win at Merano
In the article the last win is said to have occurred at the Merano Grand Prix in 1953. I have been searching, but can't find any information about this supposed Formula One race. What I did find was a sports car race at Merano on September 6, 1953, called "Gran Premio Supercortemaggiore". This was won by Fangio in an Alfa Romeo 6C 3000 CM Spider. [1] I suspect that the information about a last win for the Alfetta in 1953 is faulty and that it never raced again after the 1951 season. --KaptenKrater (talk) 20:37, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
- Yep I have been also wondering this but its sourced from Alfa Romeo book (mentioned in sources, Borgeson, Griffith. The Alfa Romeo Tradition), maybe it is error on book, I have tried also to find confirmation on internet but cant find any, espceailly I have been trying to find all results from that Merano race, if it had more clasess than the class where 6c was driven. --Typ932 T·C 11:00, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
