![]() Today's car of the day is Majorette's 1986 Alfa Romeo Milano / 75. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Alfa Romeo Milano / Alfa Romeo 75 ![]() ![]() This Majorette Alfa Romeo has been a favorite of mine since childhood. Well, not this one, which is an upgraded replacement for the one I used and abused as a kid. My favorite Alfa Romeo to date, is the 164 sedan from 1988-1997, which has never been replicated in small scale, and as much as I wish and hope that someday, someone will make one, I am aware that realistically, it is a completely forgotten car for the most part. So with that, this Milano / 75 has acted as a substitute for many years. ![]()

Another goodie from Majorette. Nice looking little Alfa -opening doors and a tow hook and Majo always had a nice variety of trailers to go behind their cars!

Didn't even know Majorette did an Alfa Romeo! Looks great, especially in red! Another I hope to find eventually. |

Looks like a fun little sedan for a kid. The opening doors were a special bonus to me when I was a kid (a couple of decades before you... ) because when they were open they became WINGS! The thing I remember most about it when it first came out was it's styling quirk of having the black beltline molding take a sudden 10 degree bend toward the heavens right behind the back door. I apologize in advance for offending any Alfisti in the audience, but it looked to me like they were selling the car pre-crashed! It looked like it had already been rear-ended! I believe it was Car & Driver that noted the same thing in it's road test of the car. But... When you're sitting behind the wheel enjoying all the Italian goodness in the free-revving engine and 4-wheel independent suspension, well, you really can't see the quarter panels, now can you? |

As an "Alfisti" that made me laugh. Pre-crashed! I quite like the styling of this car, but pretty it isn't. Alfa's are among the best looking cars out there when they do curves, but when they do angles it just gets weird. But in a fun way. |

I hear you loud and clear. Give me a Spyder like the one Dustin Hoffman drove in "The Graduate", and I'd be a very happy Corvair owner. Now THAT'S what an Alfa Romeo is to me. |
