Alfa Romeo Duetto 1966 - 1969 FAQ --

The scenes from the Graduate with the Duetto acting

This is just for fun, we like spending a few hours reading and writing about the Duetto.  I had a very good time when long time Duetto owner Axel R. contributed. In the next page there are even more detailed photos from the movie. Enjoy.
