In 1966 Alfa Romeo introduced its spectacular Duetto Spider and it was noticed by everyone who followed automotive design.
The car featured a sharp, razor-like nose, glass-covered headlights, a classic scallop running down the side and a boat-like taper at the rear. It looked sleek, sexy and Italian in every way. Interiors were pure sports car, but luxurious enough to keep the driver comfortable during longer trips. Instrumentation was excellent and the overall feel of the car superb. Driving it was pure fun, due to its nimbleness and ease of control.
Widely regarded as a design classic, it remained in production for almost three decades with only minor aesthetic and mechanical changes.
