Given the "bi-plane" bumbers design it should be a 1934 car (1st year). They changed them in 1935 into a less fragile plain blade design.  Welcome, dear visitor!

Michael Hiles Posted April 3, 2023 Share #19463  Posted April 3, 2023 Hi Stuart, I am old enough to remember All In The Family as a first run show. And I only fairly recently realized how poignant the theme song is. I had a somewhat impecunious Uncle who had an old LaSalle that I think ran great. Those memories are less Shakespearian. Best and warmest, Michael  1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted April 4, 2023 Share #19466  Posted April 4, 2023 I think it is an Alfa Romeo of some sort. Originally I thought of the 2000 Berlina, which I had for a few months in 1972 but that had quad headlights. Maybe a Giulia Berlina 1300? Wilson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted April 4, 2023 Share #19467 Â Posted April 4, 2023 Advertisement (gone after registration) Perhaps an ALFA Sud Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted April 4, 2023 Share #19468 Â Posted April 4, 2023 It really looks like an Alfa but as it is coming from Ronald I do not think that this is easy. So either an extra rare Alfa or something else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 5, 2023 Share #19469  Posted April 5, 2023 You guys are good and heading into the right direction. Maybe the second shot in color might be helpful to solve this riddle.   Welcome, dear visitor!

Lelmer Posted April 5, 2023 Share #19470 Â Posted April 5, 2023 Looks very much like an Alfa GT junior...but the color Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
a.j.z Posted April 5, 2023 Share #19471  Posted April 5, 2023 Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT(A), around 1965, but the color … Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rona!d Posted April 5, 2023 Share #19472  Posted April 5, 2023 Gents, before I give the solution I have to explain that this was planned as the 1st of April joke of my little daughter who decided that we have to take this "car". It was with some days of delay as it wasn´t my turn on that exact day. We will give 100 points to Lelmer who was closest as this vehicle is some sort of Alfa GT junior. And a true JUNIOR (for juniors) it is. This is an alfaesque merry-go-round vehicle we found in a collection. It was really interesting to see serious car people NOT having checked the VERY close distance between the Alfa nose, the headlight and the fenders end (except a.j.z. who felt something is "special" here). Sorry to those who possibly spent hours of searching their books and internet to determine the car. For us it was fun. I hope my little daughter will not kill me tomorrow as I posted the solution while she was sleeping 😉 ___ PS: To me this looks so well made that it possibly wasn´t in a merry-go-round but was made for free driving with an electric engine. I will ask the collector. (Some details hint to a merry-go-round, like the easy-entry, flat seat and especially the holding bow) PPS: If I would be a true Alfisti and have some play money left, I´d make me a merry-go-round with all my Alfa favourites in miniature. From pre-war to the 1970s cars. Welcome, dear visitor!

Rona!d Posted April 6, 2023 Share #19473  Posted April 6, 2023 https://digit.wdr.de/entries/34486 This must be the kid it was made for. Maybe the Kett Car (pedal car) wasn‘t good enough anymore and dad feared loosing his new Alfa to his daughter 😂 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lelmer Posted April 6, 2023 Share #19474  Posted April 6, 2023 Now, I better understand the color and some details...nice toy, I had liked to have one like that when I was a kid 🙂 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wizard Posted April 6, 2023 Share #19476 Â Posted April 6, 2023 vor 6 Minuten schrieb Lelmer: What about this one? If there is another like sized headlight next to the one shown, then I believe this could be an Alfasud. Not one of the first ones though, as they had rectangular headlights. Later models had the twin round headlights. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted April 6, 2023 Share #19479 Â Posted April 6, 2023 I would think of an Alfetta GT/GTV. And it seems it is a later one with the blinkers in the front bumper (after the 1980 facelift). Maybe a 2.0 or GTV 6 2.5ltr. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
