Information

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, drawn 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 are taken out of production since new designed Giulia successors take over from here.
