The Alfa Romeo Spider was produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa
Romeo from 1966 to 1993. With production spanning almost three
decades this car experienced very minor aesthetic and mechanical
changes which is why it carries such an iconic look. The Graduate
model was added to the Alfa Romeo Spider line-up as a tribute to
the car's famous appearance in the 1967 film, The Graduate,
starring Dustin Hoffman. It was built as an affordable pedigree
classic that was considered a Pininfarina masterpiece. It is pure
delight for any experienced classic car enthusiast because it is a
rare find and a true head-turner.

work was performed by Auto Motive Precision LLC (Hagerstown,

and waxes injected into the rocker/sills, frame, inner splash
shields, and across holes. This Alfa Romeo Spider Graduate has also
