The Alfa Romeo 1900 design proposal by Castagna Milano.

Vehicle Overview

Carrozzeria Castagna‘s visionary interpretation of the Alfa Romeo 1900 coupé materialized in a distinctive design unveiled during the 1950 contest for the official production model. This innovative proposal showcased a unique wrap-around rear window, standing out among competitors such as Boneschi, Colli, and Touring. Despite its avant-garde aesthetics, the Alfa Romeo 1900 by Castagna faced challenges due to its substantial size and opulence, which seemed mismatched with the modest power of the “little” 1900 engine. The limited production of this model reflected its departure from the conventional, emphasizing exclusivity. Alfa Romeo’s quest for an iconic 1900 coupé culminated in Touring’s triumph with the 1900C Sprint, marking the official recognition of their exceptional design. While Castagna’s creation may not have claimed the top spot, its influence on automotive aesthetics and experimentation with design elements like the wrap-around rear window left an indelible mark on the history of Alfa Romeo’s 1900 series.
