After World War II it was difficult for European car manufacturers to get production going again due to most of their factories being destroyed or converted for other uses. The 6C 2500 was a key part in Alfa making it through the tough times. Their cars were extremely popular in Hollywood with famous clientele like Rita Hayworth and Tyrone Power which helped keep Alfa on the front lines. This made all sort of jobs available post war in Italy which had been hit hard.
