I think it's a more recent model than a 1955 Giulietta (rear lights). Possibly a more recent Giulietta or Giulia. Other pics available (of the front, f.i.)? -- Last edit: 2006-04-04 12:55:00 |

A couple of sources on the web state its a Giulietta Spider, although the year could be later (so will remove it for the time being). I would like to get all the pictures from the movie, but thats not yet been possible - only publicity shots. |

With this type of rear lights, I think it's a '61 model year car(the last evolution before the arrival of the Giulia 1600). |

looks older than 1961...i would say 1959 or 1957 -- Last edit: 2010-05-08 13:46:02 |

Its an Alfa Romeo Giulia Spider, type 105, year 1963 to 1966. Early ones were 1300cc, later ones 1600cc. I know this because I'm hoping to buy one in the next few days. It was the predecessor to the Spider as featured in the Graduate. |

It is definitely a 101 Giulietta Spider. The original Giulietta was a 750 series with a shorter wheel base, and no vent windows. There was an updated \"101\" series in 59 or 60. The Giulia 105 series was introduced in 63 for the sedan (Berlina) and coupe, the biggest change was the addition of a 1600 cc engine. The Spiders were called Giulias but continued as 101 series, with a Hood scoop to clear the 105 engine. The only real difference between a 101 Giulietta Spider and a 101 Giulia Spider is the engine, hood, and somewhere along the line they started installing front disc brakes, moving the 13\" drums to the rear. All Giulias were offered with 1300 or 1600 engines. The Giulietta thing started as a play on Romeo & Giulietta in the 50\'s. Giulietta means little Giulia, so when they went to the \"big\" car in \'63 they dropped the \"little\" and the cars became Giulias. The 105 Spiders started with the Duetto in 1966, the car used in the Graduate. I had 2 \'65 Spider Veloces, which looked identical to the above except for the hood scoop. My car is a 101 chassis with a 121 engine and some 105 front suspension parts!!!
