At first glance I thought it was a funky BMW 2000, but it turned out to be (I believe) an Alfa Romeo Giulia, built 1962- 1978. On 46th Ave. in SF. Soulful little car.

  1. excellent cars
    love Alfa – fast reliable economic
    after ww2, usa prohibited italy from making weapons, including aircraft
    so italy made ferraris, maseratis, alfas
    best metal casting on the planet
    when gm/ford/chrysler opened plants in Mexico, they brought in italian engineers to teach how to cast metals, make engines, transmissions etc

  2. Like the Italian stone masons who came to Santa Barbara around the turn of the century to build mansions in the Montecito area, and also to build the beehive lime kilns and charcoal ovens in Nevada…
