The Giulia Sprint GTC’s perfectionist owner wants to keep it as original as possible, so the restoration is a work in progress.
Alfa is an acronym for the first letters of the original company name, Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili, founded in 1910. It’s first car was a 24-horsepower racer. In 1915, the entrepreneur and engineer Nicola Romeo took over the company, and the company name was changed five years later to Alfa Romeo.
In 1928 Nicola Romeo left the company, and by 1933 the Italian government led by Benito Mussolini took over the company that built fancy cars for the wealthy. Not surprisingly, Alfa Romeo’s factory got bombed heavily during World War II, and it took the company a while to become profitable after the war. Luxury cars were out, and Alfa Romeo began mass-producing vehicles that included sedans, coupes and open two-seaters.
Despite all the problems, Italian design and excellent performance allowed the company to produce some beautiful and fabulous cars. Some turned out just to be experiment models, but two of their most recognized models are the Giulietta Spider and the Duetto Spider 1600. Alfa Romeo’s roller coaster days appear to have smoothed out. As of Jan. 16, 2021, the company has been owned by Stellantis, a very large and profitable company that owns 16 vehicle brands, including Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Vauxhall, Citroen and Peugeot.
