First sold May 5, 1964 by International Motors in Virginia. The last owner performed a search and learned the following:
The warranty card lists a Clarence T. Hewgley on 7th Ave S., Arlington VA. Hewgley is not a very common surname and a search for same provides several listings for a Lieutenant Colonel Clarence T. Hewgley (1925-2001), Commander of the Blackjack 33 operations in Vietnam. The 7th Ave. Arlington, VA address is only a few blocks from Arlington Hall, formerly an Army Intelligence facility with operational ties to Ft Belvoir. So this seems to be pretty conclusive that Commander Hewgley was the original owner.
She moved in with her second owner in 1973 while he was stationed at Ft. Belvoir, VA. Together, they attended the 1978 AROC (Alfa Romeo Owner's Club) Capitol Chapter convention near Washington, DC.
