The popular Giulia Spider, a mainstay of Alfa Romeo, found its replacement with the Duetto Spider, which debuted at the 1966 Geneva Motor Show. With a clean, Pininfarina-designed body that was inspired by a 1959 design study based on a Disco Volante chassis, the Duetto captivated the public with its sleek and sporty lines. Reliability and performance were strong, with the majority of the new car_s mechanical components carried over unaltered from the proven Giulia. The _Duetto_ name resulted from a winning entry in a name-the-car contest, aptly reflecting the car_s recurring theme of two __ two camshafts, two carburetors, and two seats for the two occupants to sing together while motoring. The public_s love for the new Duetto exploded when a young Dustin Hoffman drove one in the landmark 1968 film, The Graduate. Impressively, the essence and the attractive basic styling of the Duetto survived largely intact throughout a lengthy production cycle that extended well into the 1990s. However, these early cars from the late 1960s, with their signature round-tail design, have remained the most desirable to the sports car enthusiasts and collectors of today. The 1966 Alfa Romeo Duetto Spider featured here is finished in stunning Rosso Farina Red with a gorgeous black interior and matching convertible top. This magnificent motorcar was just purchased in California where it was the recipient of a recent, high-level restoration.
