Jeffrey:
You probably already knew; but Ferris B.'s daily driver was
an Alfa Romeo Alfetta Sedan.
Not exactly, Ferris didn't have a daily driver, that I could see. His
cohort (Cameron?) had an Alfetta Sedan, which Ferris referred to as an
'Italian sh*tbox', IIRC.
bs
Brian is right that the Alfetta was Cameron's car, but Ferris
referred to it as a "piece of crap" without mention to make, model,
or country of origin. Which begs the question of whether the
moviemakers chose it because it was precisely the sort of car that a
Ferrari collector would buy for his teenage son, or just because it
was obscure, and "marketed" by a company that probably wouldn't sue
anybody over calling it a "piece of crap."
