Dear board readers & posters,
Whilst trying to understand the history of the Giulietta Berlina & Giulietta Berlina TI I ran into many unclear (for me at least) issues. Of course I went to the website of the well known Giulietta register but that unfortunately doesn't help at all
For the history section there is a link to a shallow Wikipedia page. Other Internet information and the books I have available also don't bring any clarification. I hope somebody on this board can help me clarify my unclear points;
1.) When the Giulietta Berlina & TI received a completely new grille in the sixties the side indicator light on the front fender changed geometry from the previous round into a squarish shape. Was the side indicator light throughout the rest of Berlina history the same? If not does anybody have the details?
2.) What are the differences in appearance between a "normal" Berlina & a TI? Where these differences consistent throughout the lifetime?
3.) When was the dashboard updated for the Berlina & TI
4.) Was the front grille update made in 1962 when the Giulia was introduced to still atract some customers even though the successor became available?
5.) I once saw a picture of a Giulietta Berlina prototype with flags sticked on it to test its aerodynamics, the grille seemed quite different to the final production version. Is there anything known about this prototype?
6.) Is there any good literature on the Giulietta Berlina & Berlina TI? The majority of books on the Giulietta are focussed on the more popular Sprint & Spider vehicles.
Too bad the differences between the several stages throughout the Berlina lifetime are not clearly listed somewhere, I hope somebody here can help me out.
Any reply will be appreciated
