Alfa Romeo 1900 Giardinetta Ghia
The Alfa Romeo 1900 Giardinetta Ghia designed by Pietro Frua.
Vehicle Overview
The station wagon Giardiniera designed by Pietro Frua, based on the Alfa Romeo 1900, emerged as a distinctive creation marketed by Carrozzeria Ghia between 1954 and 1958. Although initially attributed to Frua, photographic evidence in the Ghia archive suggests that these bodies might have been assembled by Ghia itself. Burgess-Wise, an automotive historian, raises the intriguing possibility of Ghia’s involvement, noting the presence of Ghia badges on the bodies of the Alfa Romeo 1900 Giardinetta despite the Frua logo appearing in the photographs. Complicating matters, Carrozzeria Frua underwent a transition, with Ghia acquiring it just months after the production of these enigmatic station wagons, adding an extra layer of intrigue to their origin.
