ADG 38 - SOLVED - Alfa Romeo Giulia Severtail by Casale (1967)

Okay - last try for today - Giordanengo

[75america]

AFAIK, Giovanni Giordanengo is operating in a total different business as the carrozzeria I'm after.
Also not sure Giordanengo was already active in 1967.

This is the only Alfa Romeo I know (And I know a lot, but still not all, of them ;-) that was bodied by this firm. 
But I still have some special bodied Romeo's from whom I don't know the creator, so you never know.


BRAKING NEWS: I found pictures of the car on the internet!

[Allemano]

A very nice car it seems! 

Okay, let's start again.. this company was not very well known, but was more famous for other vehicles, right?
Are these other vehicles Fiat based?

I knew it was a kind of gold!   And there is another picture of this car on internet! ( The one I saved   )

[75america]

No more excuses NOT to find the car.  I have now found 4 sources on the web that are talking about this car.
3 of them have the above mentioned 3 pics, and a 4th website has this picture:

In certain business, this company is very well known. 
Some, but not all cars they made were Fiat based.

[Allemano]

Wow, what a great looking car! 

Is it the bus business we're talking about?

Alfa Romeo Giulia, Carrozzeria Casale 1967. it  took part in Concorso di Eleganza di Cortina 1967

[75america]

   That's the one

(@ Allemano : sorry I missed your last post.  By now, you probably discovered that Casale was active in the hearse business)

Casale was taken over in 2002 by Pilato.  It is not clear to me if the company and or brand name are still active today.



And can an admin move it to the solved instead of news, information and feedback section...

[Allemano]

 
The common source gives a production year of probably 1966...

[75america]

And another source mentions the year 1965...

[Allemano]

Does "Severtail" mean something like fastback?

[barrett]

sever = to cut, so i'd guess it was more like a Kamm tail, i.e abruptly cut-off

[Otto Puzzell]

It's also been severed or hidden in every photo.
