The Alfa Romeo Giulietta was introduced at the 1954 Turin Motor Show in coupe form. A saloon version followed in 1955, and at the request of U.S. importer Max Hoffman, a convertible variant soon followed. The spider was based on the Sprint, and was powered by the company's 1.3-liter, four-cylinder engine delivering 74 horsepower. The convertible weighed 121 pounds less than its coupe sibling.
This example was completed on August 23, 1961, and sold on September 6, 1961, to Alfa Romeo Inc. in Newark, New Jersey. It was originally finished in white, with either a red or black interior. The earliest history is not known, although it is believed that it made its way to the West Coast early on in its life, which is where the previous owner acquired the car, and it was then brought to Tampa, Florida.
In 2012, the car was acquired by the current caretaker, who treated the car to a complete restoration. The body was taken down to bare metal and repainted in red. The black vinyl seats were reconditioned, and the interior was trimmed with new carpeting throughout. It was given a new matching black cloth top.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2015
