Special:

- Anonima Fabbrica Automobili Lombardo (ALFA) was founded in 1909 and the new owner, Nicola Romeo, added his surname, so it became ALFA ROMEO.

- The Giulia (Tipo 05) was designed by the wind tunnel (Kamm-tail: gave a lower drag coefficient then for example a Porsche 911 at that time), Giuseppe Scarnati, Orazio Satta Puglia and Ivo Colucci in the early 60’s and introduced at the Monaz Autodrome.

- The name “Giulietta” means “little Giulia” in Italian, so the Alfa Giulia title was a play on words identifying the new car as a grown-up version of the Giulietta.

- “Lusso” means “Luxury” in Italian.

- This Gulia Super 2A Series "unificata" / “just two models” was available as this 1.3 and as Giulia Super 1.6 (1971-1974: 1570cc straight-4 - power 116 bhp / 5.500 rpm - torque 162 Nm / 2.900 rpm - top speed 175 km/h.

- The Giulia Series was assembled by Alfa Romeo in Arese, Milan - Italy and in Portello - Italy.

Special:

- Series 1: 1902-1903: 6371cc - 24bhp/1200rpm - 35 units built

- Series 2: 1904: 6902cc - 34bhp/1200rpm - 121 units built

- Series 3: 1905: 7363cc - 36bhp/1400rpm - 85 km/h - exact units built unknown

- Around 400 units were assembled at the Corso Dante plant in Turin.

- The 1904 model was produced in four wheelbase lenghts to allow different body styles (two seats sports version, Tonneau, Wagonette-Tonneau, Duc-de-Dame, up to big Landaulet and Phaeton versions.

- These were expensive cars, available at Hollander & Tangeman, Fiat importer in New York, at a list price of $ 9.000, the second most expensive car in 1904, only to be surpassed by the 60HP Mercedes / Simplex. For that amount of money one could buy 10 brand new Cadillac model B’s at $ 900 each, but European cars were en vogue, offering much better engineering than contemporary American cars.

- FIAT built only the rolling chassis (chassis + drivetrain) at the Corso Dante (Turin) plant and all bodies were built by special coach builders at customers wishes.

- The 24/32 HP had (for that time) many novelties: it has a pressed steel frame (instead of a steel-reinforced wood chassis), it was the first sedan car to use a "Landaulet" body type, it was the first car to have an accelerator (foot) pedal, the first can with a band type clutch and it was the first automobile with a four-speed manual (forward) gearbox + reverse.

- Also noteworthy is the fact that in the first two series, tires with identical dimensions were used front and rear.

- The 24/34 HP "1902 24 HP Corsa" also was the first "racer" ever! It was specially designed for racing and not a "clone" of a standard automobile. It had a complete steel chassis (instead of wood), a 7238cc straight-4 twin-engine block with 40 bhp / 1.200 rpm and speeds up to 100 km/h, very fast in those days.

- Queen Margherita, the first Queen of Italy ("The Queen of pearls") owned a 24-32 HP, so called “Sparrowhawk”, in which she toured around half a year through Europe (over 5,000 km) in company of the famous racing driver Alessandro Cagno.

- As far as we know only 5 cars of this type 24/32 cars survived: Chassis number 745 from 1904 resides in The Netherlands, The Biscaretti Collection has two cars: a 1905 landaulette chassis nr. 2230, and a modified touring car, chassis number unknown but probably a late car (1908). In the UK chassis number 2538 has been rebuild as an Targa Florio inspired two-seater, whereas in the USA chassis number 2590 claims to be the real Targa racer.
