The beautiful Duetto bodywork was penned at Pininfarina and the last project that the company's founder, Battista "Pinin" Farina had a personal hand in. The design is characterized by minimal chrome, distinctly sculptured body sides and that signature tapering, rounded tail. This is the original expression of the long-running Alfa Spider and is considered by many to be the purest and most desirable of all models in the 27-year production run. The model achieved worldwide public recognition after starring alongside Dustin Hoffman in the film, The Graduate. Testing a Duetto in 1967, the UKs Motor magazine noted the individuality of the Duetto, the sheer fun of driving it and the fact that it does certain things better than other sports cars at the time.
