OGDEN, Utah— Some of the rarest Alfa Romeo automobiles in the country will roll into Northern Utah this month as collectors and enthusiasts from across North America gather for the 2026 Alfa Romeo Owners Club National Convention in Ogden.
The week culminates Saturday, Sept. 26, with the Concorso d’Eleganza at Huntsville City Park from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The car show is free and open to the public, offering visitors a chance to see historic and modern Alfa Romeos gathered against the backdrop of the Ogden Valley.
“It’s pretty rare to see an Alfa Romeo in Utah and at the Concorso, you’ll see some of the rarest in the country,” said Mike Fine, 2026 AROC National Convention co-chair.
Among the automobiles expected in Utah is a 1932 Alfa Romeo 8C2300 Touring Spider, powered by a supercharged 2.3-liter straight-eight engine and capable of speeds above 100 mph. The model became one of Alfa Romeo’s legendary competition cars, with 8C2300s winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans four consecutive times during the 1930s. The example coming to Utah was once owned by Andrea Mario Piaggio and spent decades associated with an automobile museum in Turin before its original chassis and body were reunited and restored.
Certified national judges at the Concorso will evaluate eligible historic cars for authenticity, mechanical correctness and preservation, while modern Alfa Romeos will also be displayed and compete for a People’s Choice award. The public event will include food trucks, vendors and a swap meet.
Convention activities begin Sept. 21 with two days of pre-convention driving tours. The official national convention runs Sept. 23-27 in Ogden and includes technical seminars, scenic drives, an autocross, tours of Northern Utah attractions and evening events. Attendees will also visit Hill Aerospace Museum, Antelope Island, Golden Spike National Historical Park and Ogden’s Autoliv facility.
The convention is headquartered near Historic 25th Street in downtown Ogden, with organizers highlighting the city’s walkability, historic character and immediate access to the Wasatch Mountains as reasons for bringing the national gathering to Northern Utah.
Automotive designer, master mechanic and television presenter Ant Anstead, known to American audiences for Wheeler Dealers, will headline the convention banquet Saturday evening in Ogden.
