Re: Alfetta trim for sale/trade

Andrew Watry writes "Alfetta sedan grille, from 77-78? car.  PN 
115.25.59.031.00 (this PN is confusing, but it did come off an Alfetta)"

Sho 'nuf confusing; the Alfetta "Short Spare Parts Catalog"("Catalogo 
Rapido") printed in 1980 says the earliest first-series cars, which had a 
narrow grill similar in appearance to the USA 1750, had a grill part number 
11600.59031.01, while later first-series cars ('76 on) had a fat grill 
similar in appearance to the USA 2000, with part number 11608.59031.50, and 
the second series (78-79) had a more triangular grill number 11655.59031.00.

Watry's grille, 115.25.59.031.00 is the correct number for the grill from a 
Giulia Nuova, which was evidently the origin of the late first-series grill 
which was then renumbered before the Catalogo Rapido was printed.

His horizontal chrome grille trim are the upper and lower pieces of the six 
used with the early narrow grill, if the book is correct.

While tracking this down I was surprised to find quite a few 116 part numbers 
in the numerical index for the 105 2000 Berlina parts book. Confusion can 
work both ways.
