Montreal FIAT

Even in its semi-ragged state, the clean Tom Tjaarda-penned lines of the FIAT 124 are really classic. In later years they seem to be victims of their former popularity. Too cheap to maintain properly, too common to restore.  But in fairness, it's really great design to look upon.

Automotive Foreplay, starring Michael Caine and his Montreal

That's the only way to describe this playful chase between a dashing Michael Caine in his Alfa Montreal and his strikingly beautiful ladyfriend in her Yellow Porsche. The early 70s was an awesome time for motoring, no?

An excerpt from the film "The Marseille Contract"- 1974.

Automobiliac Video of the Week: Alfa Romeo Montreal Tribute

This amateur video is surprisingly well done, and features some really cool sounds and camera angles. If only the driver would quit it with all the unnecessary short shifts and let the car have its head! Enjoy that sonorous small displacement V8, and Gandini-penned sheet metal!

Hat tip to Rob for the link!

SPICA the devil

Say what you will about the reliability of Italian fuel injection. I just think the plaque on the Montreal engine is pretty darn sweet.
