Alfa Romeo Giulia restyling prototype?
I found it somewhere claimed to be a 2600, but looks too small to be the bigger model.

It is an Alfa prototype from the late 60s/early 70s, yes.
It wasn't specifically said to be a restyled Giulia on the site where I found it, just generally a saloon they thought they might make but (thankfully) decided against it!
Well done.  Original picture below:

I'd say this is probably more likely to be an early styling proposal for what became the Alfa 1750 Saloon, although the shovel-front style is possibly a little too up-to-date for that (of course it became universal but early ones like the Lancia Beta looked quite odd when they first appeared, and I think the Alfa 1750 pre-dated that style.  Maybe they tried it on this car and decided it wouldn't catch on...!)
