Tipper Erik202 sent in a tip the other day and included the suggestion that DT does an “Italian” week special…and I thought to myself, this is a great idea, but I need to make sure that my team of editors agreed to this suggestion. So, I turned to the teddy bear on my left and […]
The term “rare” gets tossed around in craigslist car advertisements like an old chestnut, but sometimes rare doesn’t mean rare when new, but rarely seen on the road anymore. Like this 1964 Lancia Fulvia Berlina offered for $7500 in San Francisco, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck. From the seller: 1964 1964 Lancia Fulvia Berlina VIN: […]
This is one of those Craigslist finds where I pause and consider if I really want to publicize the vehicle on offer or keep it to myself. It’s said that real Alfisti drive Berlinas. I don’t know if it is true or not, but finding one that isn’t a basket of rust or for sale […]
For years and years, the 105 series based Alfa Romeo Berlina could be bought for next to no money. These cars are the poor mans substitute for the Giula Super sedan or handsome GTV coupe and share the same basic goodness of the two cars. The upright styling and acres of glass greenhouse stands out […]
I’m going to admit that I’ve always found the styling of the Alfa Romeo Berlina (1750 or 2000) to be a bit on the awkward side. There is something wrong with the way the rear window sits — perhaps a bit too flat and upright. It doesn’t need to be crazy like a Rover SD1, […]
Today is the day after the 4th of July — the day when the inevitable Independence Day hangover rears its ugly face and we clean up the discarded piles of sparklers, spangles, and banners. Around here we use it as a reminder of why you should be proud to be an American, but that you […]
Alright, the post headline is tortured, but stay with me, it gets better, I promise. Say the word platform sharing and dirty words are muttered. I think this comes from the GM badge engineering era of the 70’s and 80’s. Alfa Romeo did it’s version of platform sharing in the form of the spider (roadster), […]
The Alfa Romeo 2000 Berlina was a 105 series sedan that shared many of its mechanical parts with the gorgeous GTV coupe. The Berlina (sedan) version has enjoyed surprising price appreciation in the past few years and nice examples demand decent money, so if you want a cheap one, expect it to be rough. Like […]
The Alfa Romeo Giulietta tipo 750/101 was a gorgeous piece of Italian art built by Alfa Romeo from 1954 to 1965. The Berlina was the sedan version that isn’t seen as often as the Sprint (coupe) or Spider (convertible), but is cool nonetheless. This particular example is the more desirable TI (Turismo Internazionale) Berlina and […]
The Fulvia Berlina was a sedan built by Lancia based out of Torino, Italy from 1963 to 1976. Lancia Automobile S.p.A. was founded in 1906 by Vincenzo Lancia and was an independent OEM (original equipment manufacturer) until 1969 when it was acquired by Fiat, but that doesn’t mean you should identify it as an Alfa […]
