La Linea: The Last Real Alfa Romeo

Hiram Ce Wang didn’t grow up around vintage cars. In mainland China, they barely exist. Registration laws and emissions crackdowns erased almost everything with a carburetor. But now, years later, he’s found connection in an unlikely place: a 1989 Alfa Romeo Milano Gold. The Milano was never meant to be famous. Renamed from “75” to “Milano” for U.S. buyers, the car landed in the final days of Alfa’s independence, before Fiat, before the end of rear-wheel drive. And under the hood? One of the most beloved engines in Alfa history: the Busso V6.
