Driving on the freeway surrounded by all those SUVs is such a trip. It really highlights how small this car is compared to the huge things other people seem to feel the need to drive these days.

Right, like 'an immigrant might've come here involuntarily', this from a former slave's great-grandson... And GOP spokesman. Having had my flight plans, within the US, as a free, WASP even, citizen, get delayed by hours, because I was travelling with someone moderately high-up in the Democratic Party's hierarchy , while Cheney/Bush were in power in the early 2000's... Nope, can't say that I am 'Ignorant', but YOU ARE! And, ya know, 'Johnson' isn't like, all that uncommon enough to raise a flag, unless... Yeah, so, this poor dude is in the video, better acquire more Leno-Like friends real quick, because, well, Trump isn't SANE like the "W" was... Dial 911, oh, wait, this phone has 11?!

The real problem with Alpha Romeo is with PARTS. And i'll bet it was always the example of constant problem like that and the same situation is with Fiat, Lancia etc. Just look on the cars from the 2000 - 2007 year like brakes suspension metal carrozzeria body panels engine parts gearbox parts electic parts windows etc.

Older Italian cars, not just Alfas, were often beautiful to drive and some, like this one shown here, had looks that could melt just about anyone. But they were often riddled with problems. Especially the electrics were shoddy on them, allmost regardless of make and model. But worst of all were Lancias, I'd say. They would start to rust allmost before they left the showroom, and some models even had mechanical "quirks" that could be potentially lethal...

@trashpanda314 4 жыл бұрын

Personally, I'm not a huge fan of them but I can definitely see the appeal. The styling is just a bit awkward on their cars. I can't quite put my finger on it. The wheel wells perhaps? I dunno. They're by no means offensive to me, just not my cup of tea.

The engine was a Giuseppe Busso project. He did the "bialbero" and the "v6 Busso" that alfa used pretty much in every car for 50 years. i think he was heavily involved in the making of the racing v8 they used on the various 33 racing car too.

Amazing to find this coverage of the Alfa Romeo Giulia SS !!!! I owned a 1966 metallic silver gray , bought it in Sacramento, CA, in 1966 and drove it to San Antonio TX as I entered the Air Force Officer Training School, then up to Denver for specialist schooling at Lowry AFB for 9 months, then off to England with Air Force for 3 years, came back to the USA with it, to San Francisco for 3 years, then to Wash. D.C. where I eventually sold it. A great performing car, throaty Weber growls and such a beautiful design by Bertone! Loved its roadability and aerodynamic beauty! Thanks to my brother Ted in San Francisco for sending me this link by email!!!!

Memories. I owned a 1966 from ~1970 to 1983. Drove it cross country and back in 1976 then restored it, then published as Retrospect car in Motor Trend Sept 1978. All steel except the hood on mine was aluminum. That vintage Alfa was pretty simple, reliable and a whole lot of fun on Mulholland Drive and Malibu Canyon. Thanks

As for this video, I love the 60s Alfa's but I have to disagree with Jay, the Zagato bodied Alfas were the best.

Great to see the SS being highlighted in your garage. The car is so aerodynamic that even with the windows down there is very little air that gets in the car. The oil pan is a 3 piece affair with a baffle, oil cage at the oil pickup with 4 doors to keep the oil at the pump while cornering. The car has front disc brakes in the front. This and the 5 speed was standard with the car. This and many other SS cars are listed in the Sprint Specaile Register.

Gorgeous car! It's reassuring to know that precious pieces of automotive history are being preserved so nicely. I very much prefer keeping things stock and original - to an extent. SUGGESTION FOR THESE VIDEOS: Part of enjoying cars, specifically old cars, is hearing them crank and start. It'd be awesome if you guys would start including a shot of the car starting up, even if the cold engine is grouchy or whatever. The ride-along shots are awesome, and including the motor starting would give us a bit more of the overall experience with driving the car. Anyone who's fired up a 427 Cobra Jet or the like knows that half of the experience is the ROAR of starting the thing. Food for thought!

I sold it 10 years ago... for a more economic car. Still I miss it every single time I sit into my new car. I'll probably buy an Alfa again next time... as a caprice, you know. Totally worth the little pains it gives you now and then... An Alfa is like your little, gorgeous chick: you have to constantly look after her... but what a pleasure you get back from her!

my grandfather at the time this was in production had just started working as a designer for alfa. he always told me how during one of his first visits at the factory while he was talking to his boss casually leaned on the front bumper of an aluminum giulia ss and punched a hole through it with his elbow. it’s amazing how light these cars were and how car production worked back then
