    I owned a 62 version of this when I was stationed in Italy. It was red, fast and fun!

    All cars from 1959 have their own beauty ?

    I know what it’s like. It’s the car I learned to drive a stick in. It’s close to heaven.

      Everyone that has one says it’s one of the best driving experiences gear box is awesome I haven’t driven one but watched reviews going into this one and how the owners just loved these =)

    That engine looks very similar to the duel cam 4 cyl. engine that Fiat used during the mid to late 60's. Thanks, Jay...Keep the videos coming!

    That “accelerator knob” is the choke, universal picture of a choke.

      @@What.its.like. I love how thorough your research is! Could be a translation error Italian/English. My friend bought a Chinese motorcycle, and the owners manual was hilarious, the throttle was labeled “loudness leaver” for instance.

      Yeah I try to be thorough each episode is designed if you’re looking to get that particular car what that car is like =) Alfa Romeo owners help me out with that one of the group members of the Alfa club was able to give me that print out of the button switches and knobs. But I agree I think it was a translation issue because that is the universal logo for choke

    The car is an abnormale. It had a single carb stock. This is not a Veloce but has had Weber carbs installed. I owned a 1600 cc 101 series Giulia for a few years. Not to be confused with a 105 series Giulia 1600. It had a single solex carb and a five speed transmission. I got to drive a 1960 Sprint Veloce a few times in the late nineties. Loved it.Neat cars.

      Thank you so much for the insight these cars are super confusing if you’re on the outside looking in the engine is it correct to the car the owner told me it has a different engine in it I wasn’t entirely sure what engine it was he told me but I forget what specs he said so I just used the information on what is supposed to be in there

      @@What.its.like. The engines pretty much fit most models whether it’s 1300, 1600, 1750, or 2000. It’s not uncommon to put in a larger engine or upgrade to webers. Nowadays even European Twin Spark motors are being used.

    The Giulietta Berlina wasn't made for the US market. The proportion were for small European streets on focus. So is hidious on the eye of the beholder. I've got a fullsize US Landyacht here in Germany. That is sometimes a battle on the road to get it through different locations. And sometimes you can't find a spot to park or store a car of this size. And we talk here about a 1957 Plymouth Plaza, so it is by far not the biggest car on the road back then.

    Great review- they are incredible cars for their era, still fine in traffic now which for a 60+ year old is fantastic. It's italian, so pronounced- Jee-ooly-ett...A!

    The grille is similar to the Edsel. The newer sedans were the basis of the Dodge Dart of the early 2000s . Chrysler used the same basic platform of this car. Since Fiat had taken Chrysler over.

      @@What.its.like. I live near Belvidere Illinois where the Dodge Dart was built. When Chrysler introduced the new Dart the president of Fiat was there to see the first ones off the assembly line. Chrysler has since discontinued the Dart and the Belvidere plant is now used to build the Jeep Cherokee.

    The car is piccola. Or as the French say petite. Right down to the ashtray and pedals. it's lovely. I must see the sedan by comparison. I here the Low Down where I work in a Cajun seafood restaurant quite often. Alfa Romeo a success story of how to stay relevant to the times and survive. Auto industry NOT easy just like amusement park industry.
