Just for that, you don't get to look at a scan of my '58 Guiletta roadster.

Oh sure, punish all of us because those two can't play nice together! <LOL>
Oh, don't worry... I'll get that transparency scanned and show it anyhow...
I was playing "It's MY ball, and I'M going home" sort of thing. Sometimes you just can't resist the temptation! <g>
FWIW, the Alfa Romeo site calls it a Spider (they should know). As I understand it, Spider is pronounced "speed-air" or something close to it (please, someone Italian correct me if I'm wrong). It's the Italian bastardization of the English word Speeder or Speedster. Has nothing to do with arachnids.

No, a "spider" is a body style. A lightweight convertible sporting vehicle.
See Pinin Farina who designed the first one for Alfa in the Guilietta series startiing in 1955.
Many others make one today, not the least of which is Ferrari...
