History of the Giulietta

I found this article on a really great site devoted to the Giulietta:

Quote:
The Birth of the Giulietta

It was the Giulietta which brought the pleasure of Alfa Romeo driving to the masses. Following substantial Italian Government investment in post-war reconstruction, Alfa was lurching from one financial crisis to another. A new small car was needed to catapult the company into the big league, but the funds simply weren't there. Alfa thus embarked on a rights issue with the additional benefit of free entry for its shareholders into a lottery for 1000 early cars. The shares sold well. Unfortunately, development of the new car was not quite as straightforward, and a scandal began to brew as winners had their delivery dates postponed time after time. Finally, in late 1954, the first Giulietta Sprint Coupes were awarded to their winners and the era of mass-produced Alfa Romeos was born. The Giuliettas would eventually be built in coupe; saloon/sedan; convertible; and a rare 'Speciale' Coupe. The Giulietta was also enormously successful in motor racing; continuing the pre-war Alfa tradition. Numerous racing specials were built; including lightweight Zagato-bodied versions, such as the SZ no 30 (below right), seen here in the 1963 Targa Florio driven by Virgilio (copyright LAT). In all, more than a quarter of a million 750 and 101 series cars rolled off the production lines in the decade to 1965.

The Giulietta, in 750 and 101 versions, along with its larger engined sister the 101 Giulia was made between 1954 and 1965 a time which many people now consider to be the golden age of motoring. Even today, the Giulietta has a very modern driving feel. It must have seen like something from another planet in the 1950's.
The homepage for this article is: http://www.giulietta.com/

There is tons of information there on these cars.
