Yeah, they came out pretty early, '62 I think, with a 1300 version for home market. Before the 105 GTV and 105 Duetto Spider. A ton of tiny variations in grilles and trims and taillights etc, but usually engine and carburetion made the difference between models. The "Super" is generally the top version, with twin Webers. There was a lightweight Giulia TI Super (below) that was a stripped down sedan with a lot of the factory race parts underneath and air intakes in the high beams.



We got the Giulias up to '67, then the '68 emissions rules ended the US carb versions. They kept making that body for the Euro market way into the late 70s I think, but with smaller headlights and a boring dashboard. They had 1300s, 2-liters, diesels. There were custom wagons built.



They have a slightly longer wheelbase than the Spider and GTV and are very stable and fun to drive. You sit up higher than the other two, people like them for trips.

Remember all those green Police cars they trashed in The Italian Job?

The later ones got this ugly grille IMO, but the shell is essentially the same. "Nuova Super"


The "Berlina" (sedan) 1750 came out in '69 I think, so they were made parallel to the Super for several years. It was bigger, uglier, but used the same doors and windshield as the Super. Those lasted until maybe '74 (?) and are still mostly unloved. Then the Alfetta sedan became the 4 door sports model, with a rear transaxle and great handling.

The Alfa Thread

Is there a good resource for the Alfa Giulia Supers? It looks like a lot of little changes over the years that they made them. There’s a 75 in AZ that I like, not really in the market but I want to know what to look for . Ive seen many different headlight styles.. also I know they were 1300, 1600, were any 1750? What makes the Super , a Super Ti? Etc all these questions and more

edit: Found some info...

The first series Giulia sedans came in 1300cc or 1600cc with either single Solex carburetor (Ti) or dual Webers (Super).

also a cool article about the Giulias aero

More convention pics.

A friend tells me this was at the Alfa owners club national convention in Washington last week. Pretty sweet. Pretty fast (for 1938).

Body by Touring. I believe Jon Shirley is one of the early Microsoft guys. Those guys bought a lot of cool cars, and keep them up, and race them.

Alfa is the "Title Sponsor" only at Sauber F1. There is no "Alfa Romeo" in it. But cool picture anyway.....

"Following an uncompetitive 2017, Sauber opted for a new aerodynamic concept for this year at the same time as receiving the latest specification of Ferrari power unit, and has made rapid progress to fight consistently in the midfield. Ericsson said at the start of the season that Sauber had the greatest potential to improve with its new car, and Ericsson believes that remains the case ahead of the second part of the season."
