| an Alfa Romeo Giulia 1600 or 2000 Giorgetti Familiare/Giardinetta? those who needed some extra space took their Giulia to a coachbuilder where several were active to carry out this conversion on a small scale, such as Colli, Grazia and Giorgetti. This created the ideal combination of a sports sedan and a pack mule. In total, about 800 examples would have been converted to station wagons by coachbuilders. Most have been supplied to government agencies such as the police, Alfa Romeo dealers (as a service car) and racing teams (for the transport of parts). |
I gotta say, that is a sharp looking little wagon.

I love the color and the interior, but that roofline is a little awkward looking. The blue one I quoted must have been a different manufacturer as it is a little more sleek out back.

Looks green to me, which would explain the tan interior.

| German Ford Taunus 17M (aka P3), from '61 thru '64 model year. Its rounded shaped front and rear inspired the nickname "bathtub". Built in the large factory at Cologne. The oval-shaped headlamps remind me of the shape of those on the first Euro-market 411- |

These are so odd I want one. I think it’s more about unique for me and I can see the beauty in the lines.

I saw a cool German mini Ford on My Classic Car. It had a roof line of a bubble top Chevy and the rest was tiny Fairlane. Cool car.

Sort of a little brother to the '62 Thunderbird, from several angles.
