Alfa Romeo
has a long tradition in building magnificent coupe-, spider- and other
exclusive car models. After world war II Alfa Romeo decided to change
its course and started producing cars in mass production. The fully
handcrafted pre war models were too expensive to make the company
survive within the new economic perspective. The most important decision
being made was to produce cars with a unitary bodywork structure. Cars
could be constructed lighter and with less parts this way.
The first new post war model with a unitary bodywork structure was
introduced in 1950; the Alfa Romeo 1900.
In 1954 the Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint (750 series) was presented on
the Turin motor show. It was a car with a breathtaking sleek and compact
design, designed by Bertone. The car was very light and featured
excellent aerodynamics. Very important was the introduction of the new
Alfa Romeo four cylinder engine with the Alfa Romeo Giulietta. This
compact engine was made of aluminium and featured two overhead
camshafts. Cylinder capacity was 1290 cc. and it delivered a stunning 50
bhp. per liter which was very remarkable those days. This reliable and
powerful engine concept would become famous and was going to be used in
many Alfa Romeo models for the decades to come.
In the year 1955 two other Giulietta models see the light of day; the
beautiful Giulietta Spider (convertible), drawn by PininFarina, and the
Giulietta Berlina (saloon).
1957 was the year in which a very special Giulietta model was presented;
the very aerodynamic Giulietta Sprint Speciale (SS), designed by Bertone.
In the year 1958 the Giulietta series was slightly updated; the radiator
grille was redesigned and the engine becomes additional power. The
capacity increases from 65 bhp. up to 80 bhp.
In the year 1962 the Alfa Romeo Giulia model series was introduced and
all Giulietta models are renamed "Giulia" to fit within the new model
program. In 1965 the Giulietta models were taken out of production since
new designed Giulia successors took over from here.
