A 1952 Alfa Romeo Disco Volante.
“Disco Volante is the name of at least one avant-garde album, featuring such classics as ‘Everyone I Went to High School with is Dead.’ Alfa Romeo named its short-lived 1952 racer Disco Volante. In the movie Thunderball, James Bond must stop the villain Emilio Largo from escaping with nuclear bombs aboard the Disco Volante.” — The Oakland Tribune does a bit of Googling in order to rif on the name of the upcoming cocktail lounge/restaurant/pinball parlor at 347 14th Street from Tim Tolle, co-owner of Radio Bar and the Ruby Room, and several partners. ‘Disco volante,’ mind you, is just Italian for ‘flying saucer.’ [Tribune, Earlier]
