Alfa Romeo Spiders were generally dismissed as the bottom of the
barrel when it came to classic Alfa convertibles. Generally
regarded as the most beautiful iteration of Pininfarina's design,
these Spiders also were the most basic in spec, the rarest, and the
most expensive, On the other hand, many of us who loved our cars
and grew up in the 80s fondly remember these cars as vintage
roadsters available brand new at the dealership. There were very
few convertible sports cars even available in 1985. The Graduate
was a dumbed-down version of the Spider which came out in 1985.
Another unique feature was that 1985 was the last year for the
classic Alfa Spider "pod" gauges - two big ones aimed directly at
the driver, and three smaller ones over the center console stack
also pointed at the driver. The Series 3 had "duck tails" The new
trim level called the Graduate was introduced to capitalize on
Alfa's brief moment of stardom nearly twenty years prior in the
movie with Dustin Hoffman called ' The Graduate'.For most of the
Series 3 years, Spiders were sold in three trim levels: the basic
Graduate (steel wheels, vinyl seats, crank windows), the more
deluxe Veloce (leather upholstery, power windows and mirrors,
aluminum wheels, air-conditioning), and the flashy Quadrifoglio
(two-tone interior with gray leather and red carpets, side skirts,
removable hard top). Mechanically, the three versions are
identical, with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder rated at 115 hp , a
five-speed manual transmission, and four disc brakes. The Spider
Graduate slotted below the Spider Veloce and was the entry-level
model,
