Regarding classic cars, some decades have been better than others. For example, the Alfa Romeo roadsters were very popular from the 1960s through the 1970s.
Even today, classic car hobbyists swoon over sportscar models like the Giulietta Spider and Duetto. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider made its first appearance in the U.S. in 1956. The speedy little two-seat roadster represented the carefree Italian lifestyle perfectly. And when Dustin Hoffman raced around his little Alfa Romeo Duetto in The Graduate film, it became iconic.
Although both were popular Italian sports cars, it’s easy to spot the differences when you look at them side-by-side. The Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider has a rounder, more classic roadster appearance.

The classic Alfa Romeo Duetto has a sleeker, aerodynamic appearance. It looks more like a modern 1960s sportscar than its predecessor.
Only some decades have been a winner for Alfa Romeo. Around 1979 and through the 1980s, the brand struggled financially. Although models from that time did sell, like the Alfa Romeo Milano, GTV7, and 164, there were problems. The company’s financial woes impacted the build quality. Rust was a consistent problem, and dealer support issues were persistent.
