screamer510 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 . Italy, Germany, and Japan were in ruins after WW2 ,,, but their cars from 1950-1970 were some of the most fuel efficient production cars ever made. The 1954 Alfa Romeo Guilitta Sprint got a 1290cc, 4cyl. aluminum block, DOHC 16 valve head, and made 65hp at an almost unheard of 6000 rpm (for a production street car). While the 1954 Porsche 356 still came with a standard 1100cc pushrod engine making 46 hp at 4000 rpm. Sold a 1958 Giulietta Sprint Veloce Confortevole to buy my Datsun and take care of some other money matters. Hand-hammered steel body, all the bits and pieces had serial #'s because they only matched that one body. Quote Link to comment
