Overview

The 75 was introduced in May 1985[2] to replace the Alfetta and Giulietta (both with which it shared many components), and was named to celebrate Alfa's 75th year of production. The body, designed by head of Alfa Romeo Centro Stile Ermanno Cressoni, was styled in a striking wedge shape, tapering at the front with square headlights and a matching grille (similar features were applied to the Cressoni-designed 33).
In 1986 at the saloon of Turin a prototype 75 estate was to be seen, an attractive forerunner of the later 156 Sportwagon. This version was, however, nixed after Fiat took control of Alfa Romeo. The car was made by Italian coachbuilder Rayton Fissore and it was made using 75 Turbo as basis, dubbed as 75 Turbo Wagon.[4]In 1987 at Geneva Motor Show was shown also two estate versions, one was this Turbo Wagon and the other was named as Sportwagon.
