01 / THE STORY
History & context
The Alfa Romeo Pretty Car, crafted by Carrozzeria Casale, stands as a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the late 1960s. This striking vehicle was the second prototype produced by Carrozzeria Casale and was built on the platform of a 1962 Spider Allemano. However, significant modifications were made to the original model, most notably the replacement of the engine with a more powerful Alfa Romeo 1600cc engine. Aesthetically, the Pretty Car features a vibrant yellow paint job that accentuates its sleek and stylish design. Both the front and rear hoods are constructed from aluminum, a choice that not only reduces the car’s weight but also enhances its performance and agility. Adding to its unique design, the rear glass and windshield are made of Plexiglas, a lightweight and durable material that was innovative for its time. Completed in 1968, the Alfa Romeo Pretty Car is a rare and unique prototype that showcases the ingenuity of Carrozzeria Casale. Its combination of advanced materials, bold color, and powerful engine make it a notable example of custom automotive design from the era. This prototype, with its blend of aesthetic appeal and performance enhancements, remains a fascinating piece of automotive history, reflecting the experimental spirit and technical advancements of the late 1960s.
