Alfa Romeo Spider Ultimate Portfolio 1966-1994 (Ultimate Portfolio)

US Books > Nonfiction > Automotive > Luxury

Combine one of Pininfarina's most enduring shapes with a classic twin-cam Alfa Romeo engine, and you have the Spider.  In spite of several updates to keep it abreast of the times, the Spider remains immediately recognizable as the lineal descent of the car which Dustin Hoffman drove in 'The Graduate'.  It is, without any doubt, a classic.  When the Spider was launched in 1966, it was met with mixed feelings, but nobody complained about the performance.  The Spider stayed in production until 1993 and was still sold in America during 1964.
