1957 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider
Chassis # 1495-01705 Engine # 1315-44178 The Alfa
Romeo Giulietta Spider was the first post WWII massed produced convertible by
the famed Italian automobile manufacture.
The task to design these first production convertible was given to the
world renowned coachwork house of Pinin Farina, whose iconic designs have
graced us for more than 80 years, and these youthful little pretty cars
certainly fall into that iconic category. This 1957
Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider has been owned by the same family from new and is
almost entirely all original. Bought new
at Turner Motors in Sacramento California in October 21, 1957, as per the
original sale invoice, this car has spent its entire life in northern
California. With less
than 67,500 original (documented miles) the car comes with a file folder full
of records showing the mileage and maintenance of the car throughout its entire
life. The car is still
cloaked in its original red paint that shows very well, and the black and red
interior is in equally nice condition, both presenting very well. The bright work and exterior show signs of
wear and use as this car was a daily driver early in its life. The car has a newer top that was installed about
twenty years ago. At some point the
original engine block was damaged and a complete engine rebuild was done using
an original 1958 block. Since its
rebuild sometime in the mid 1980’s the car has traveled less than 3500 miles. Also accompanying the car is the original
jack, canvas tool roll and operation and maintenance manual. The car was
just recently re-commissioned after sitting a number years, and now is in very
good running and driving condition. This
possibly could be one of the most original one family owned Giulietta spiders
for sale today. Vehicle is being sold as-is where-is. |

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
Alfa Romeo considering Ferrari-developed engines for new product lineup
Sun, 06 Apr 2014A report in Bloomberg adds more details to the plans for Alfa Romeo's fourth turnaround plan in Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne's tenure, and this time Ferrari is apparently going to be part of the show. In December Automotive News Europe reported that a new Maserati-derived rear-drive architecture would be the centerpiece at Alfa Romeo, as well as coming Chrysler and Dodge products. At the time, ANE said the platform would support a new midsize sedan and wagon perhaps to be called Giulia, a fullsize sedan and a midsize crossover, with retail appearance of the product initiative commencing perhaps as soon as next year. It would be part of Fiat's $12.3-billion spend on new models and European recovery.
The Bloomberg report says that particulars haven't been finalized, but the plan is to have six new Alfas appear over the next five years, two of which would be SUVs. The futures of the Mito and Giulietta, two of the three cars Alfa currently sells and 99 percent of sales last year, aren't assured, meaning that the lineup in six years could be seven cars (including the 4C), six of which we haven't any definitive clue of yet. The top-tier versions of those cars, according to the report - perhaps the Quadrifoglio Verde - "will be equipped with motors developed by Ferrari."
Marchionne wants to get sales up to 300,000 units per year when the lineup is complete, pairing Alfa sales with Jeep's global dealer network to open up the retail channel. That kind of volume would get Fiat's Italian plants back in business properly, even though Marchionne's stance on Italy-only Alfa production would mean the end of the anticipated roadster that was to be twinned with the coming Mazda MX-5 Miata. Alfa's direction will be laid out in Detroit in May as part of the overall strategy presentation for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV.
