Alfa Romeo \u201c Giulietta t.i. \u201d, 1957<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In April 1954 <\/strong>a new car\u00a0entered\u00a0the automotive world with her eye-catching style and an attractive name: Giulietta. <\/strong>The Sprint<\/em> version (a coupe designed by Bertone<\/strong>) was unusually launched first, followed by the sedan model in 1955 that, together with the Fiat 600<\/a><\/strong> and 1100<\/strong><\/a> and the Lancia Appia<\/a>,<\/strong> will help the Italian motorization. The sedan, with 4 doors, 4 seats and column shifter, was very nimble\u00a0and fast too, reintroducing the philosophy of pre-war Alfa Romeos: good speed, handling, reliability, and elegance<\/strong>.
\nThanks to the design updates in 1959 and 1961, the public kept\u00a0loving the Giulietta during the following years, consolidating the commercial success and creating its\u00a0legend.
\nThe car exhibited at\u00a0the Museum is a Giulietta t.i.<\/strong> (International Tourism), a more powerful version introduced in 1957 <\/strong>that soon\u00a0became the best selling version.<\/p>\n

Luciano Nicolis<\/strong> used to say: “This Giulietta was owned by Gino Tassi<\/strong> and I promised myself to kept it as it is in memory of Gino<\/em>”
\n“The\u00a0Italian Historic Trucks Club\u00a0<\/strong>is dedicated to Gino Tassi: born in 1920, he lived in Bondeno and started working as a truck driver before WWII and lived the 60s Italian economic miracle with his transport company. He mainly used Lancia\u00a0tankers in service to the sugar factory of Bondeno. When he retired, he sold his vehicles and started helping the first truck collectors to restore their vehicles and save rare versions. Soon the Club was born, in 1994<\/em> ” Taken from www.circolocamionstorici.it<\/a><\/p>\n
