Cool, thanks a lot. I'm going to check the car out tomorrow, I'm really hoping it's what it's been described to be, it will be nice to have something that gets good mileage without being a little sidewinder front wheel drive.

I don't understand that either - Alfas (in my opinon) are drop dead gorgeous
Yet the Tribecca... well...

Maybe Alfa paid Subaru to take the guy?

Or maybe it was a brilliant GM internal transfer

Anybody remember the "Super Lite" offered by Dodge on their full-size models (Polara/Monaco) in 1969? One extra light in the grille, just inside the driver's side lo/hi beams. I believe it was made by Sylvania, and was offered for less than the full model year, as our federal government deemed it didn't meet then-current lighting regulations (just like the glass headlight covers on the '65 Chryslers and Imperials; you gotta give Chrysler the credit for at least trying!). A very rare option when new, a '69 Dodge with one TODAY will have genuine Mopar fans stopping dead in their tracks at any car show!
