Alfa Romeo 75

The Alfa Romeo 75, sold in North America as the Milano, was a compact sports saloon / compact executive car produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo between 1985 and 1992. The 75 was commercially quite successful; in just three years, 236,907 cars were produced and by the end of production in 1992, around 386,767 had been built. The Alfa Romeo 75 was the last model that the manufacturer developed before being acquired by Fiat. The 75 was introduced in May 1985 to replace the Giulietta , and was named to celebrate Alfa's 75th year of production. The body, designed by head of Alfa Romeo... Centro Stile Ermanno Cressoni, was styled in a striking wedge shape, tapering at the front with square headlights and a matching grille . At the 1986 Turin Auto Salon, a prototype 75 estate was to be seen, an attractive forerunner of the later 156 Sportwagon. This version was, however, never listed for sale, being cancelled after Fiat took control of Alfa Romeo. The car, dubbed the 75 Turbo Wagon, was made by Italian coachbuilder Rayton Fissore using a 75 Turbo as the basis.
