I have this IXO/Edicola et al 1/24 1954 version, looks pretty much the same. Alfas are some of the worlds most beautiful cars, along with some oddballs, IMHO.
This is a Leomodels 1/24 Giulietta Sprint Speciale from the same year as Johns, 1957, looks like a squashed Veloce Alleggerita.
I tried to find other 1957 Alfas to display their design diversity. Heres a 1900C, absolute stunner:
This is 1957 Alfa Romeo 250 Luxury Sedan:
A 1957 Alfa 1900CSS Zagato
And a 1957 Giulietta T.I Berlina by Bertone.
As always thanks John for another inspiring choice!!

Great choice John; a familiar and pleasing automotive image!
(Nice collection Geoff!)

@geoff-jowett Well said Geoff. A friend has a Sprint Speciale and while I understand it is quite rare, I've never thought of it being attractive. He also has a GTV and a Junior Z both of which I find better proportioned. I also like the Giuiletta Sprint which John used for the featured car. I have a model of this car in 1/43 scale by Mini Champs and models of the Sprint Speciale and the GTV in 1/18 scale.

I have a few Giulietta Sprints in 1/43 or so... A very nice proportioned car for the 1950s.

The 101 and 105 series Alfa Romeos are the best handling live axle cars that I have ever driven. Lots of fun to drive.
