33 Stradale Alfa Romeo

The Alfa Romeo Giulia wasn't the only vehicle from this manufacturer to succeed in the 1960s; the 33 Stradale was also a very sought-after car. The car, which had a futuristic appearance, was featured in the Italian film Un Bellissimo Novembre and was regarded as one of the most beautiful at the time of its introduction.

However, only 18 of them were produced, so those who had the honor of driving one were among the fortunate. Even though the majority of people have never seen an Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale on the road, true auto enthusiasts are aware of its value.
