‘63 Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta (Tipo 750 and Tipo 101, meaning "Type 750" and "Type 101") was a family of automobiles made by Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo from 1954 to 1965 which included a 2+2 coupé, four-door saloon, estate, spider, Sprint, and Sprint Speciale. The 2+2 was Alfa Romeo's first successful foray into the 1.3-litre class. From 1954 to 1965 a total of 177,690 Giuliettas were made, the great majority in saloon (Berlina), Sprint coupé, or Spider body styles, but also as Sprint Speciale and Sprint Zagato coupés, and the rare Promiscua estate.
The Giulietta series was succeeded by the Giulia in 1962.
Introduction of the Giulia Spider
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider was introduced in 1962. Essentially a re-named Giulietta with a 1.6L inline four, the Giulia Spider carried the same styling as the car it was based upon, and continued production until 1966.
Alfa Romeo & Pininfarina
Over its 86 years of business and counting, the Italian design firm, Pininfarina, has archived what many argue as the most beautiful catalogue of automobiles in history. From Ferraris to Maseratis, Lancias to Fiats, the coachbuilders at Pininfarina have penned and constructed an incredible cache of timeless lust worthy machines for many of the world’s greatest manufacturers.
It’s no surprise that their synergy with Alfa Romeo resulted in some of the most coveted shapes of all time. Of their more notable collaborations was the little Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider Veloce.
