Montana Bob? The car in the Graduate was an Alfa Duetto Spider. Alfa offered a Spider in "Graduate" form in the later 80s  in bare trim rather than the Veloce or Quadrofoglio to appeal to "graduates" on a lesser budget. Kirk and many others have been on this list for many years, and this list draws upon everything automotive as well as cats, Zappa, witchcraft.

This list is for the British cars 1958-1969 Austin Healey Sprites and 1962-1979 MG Midgets, not the Italian car Fiat Spider.> > --On Saturday, July 23, 2016 12:48 PM -0700 Kirk Hargreaves via Spridgets  wrote:> >> >> Help me please, I am tempted.
