 I've heard that the Duetto was never officially called the Duetto because of
 licensing with Volvo (one of the PVs?).  However, Volvo had a 164 and Lancia
 had a Berlina.  Does anybody know the legalities of this?  Sorry this is
 minimal Alfa content, but I'm curious.

Simple answer: a number cannot be copyrighted, and the term "Berlina" refers 
to a body style. You cant copyright the word "sedan."
