You've posted the right picture so you've found the car, but some of those details are not correct.
Locked for you to dig into fully to get your final Expert point!

Yes, it's chassis 948/5, one of three built in 1948 to compete in the Mille Miglia, which it did twice.
When bought by Perry Fina of New York he replaced the Alfa engine with a Cadillac V8 to make it more competitive with the big-engined cars in the US.  Some say Mr Fina designed the body, but it is of course a Motto body, though perhaps Mr Fina made a couple of modifications to it.
The car was later restored and returned to original specification with its Alfa 2600 6C engine.

So, that makes you a Professional now.  Believe me, life gets a lot harder from now on...!

Congratulations anyway!

Perry Fina's Nardi-Danese Cadillac, 1953
The picture shows the car after the current owner Richard DeLuna has returned it to its original glory, complete with an Alfa Romeo 6C marine engine.
