Description
The 1900 was introduced in 1950 as Alfa Romeo’s first model with unitary construction, and variations of the chassis were supplied to independent coachbuilders. Among the coachbuilt variants created on the 2,500mm-wheelbase Corto chassis was Ghia’s Supergioiello, or “super jewel,” which featured hand-built three-window coupe bodywork. The Sprint Supergioiello was succeeded by a restyled Ghia coupe upon the introduction of the 1900 Super Sprint platform in 1954.

The 1900 was introduced in 1950 as Alfa Romeo’s first model with unitary construction, and variations of the chassis were supplied to independent coachbuilders. Among the coachbuilt variants created on the 2,500mm-wheelbase Corto chassis was Ghia’s Supergioiello, or “super jewel,” which featured hand-built three-window coupe bodywork. The Sprint Supergioiello was succeeded by a restyled Ghia coupe upon the introduction of the 1900 Super Sprint platform in 1954.
This example features alloy body panels finished in cream with golden-yellow accents along the rocker panels, headlight surrounds, and rear bumper support. A refurbishment is said to have been performed by marque specialist Fabio Callegaris in Milan beginning in 2000. Features include a scudetto grille flanked by side grilles with single inset Marchal headlights as well as triple canted spears on each sail panel, a wraparound rear window, front and rear bumper guards, a driver-side mirror, and Ghia badges set in shield-shaped impressions on each fender.
Chrome wire wheels are secured by two-eared knock-offs accented by golden-yellow lettering and are wrapped in 185R400 Michelin X tires, as is a spare housed in the trunk compartment. Hydraulic brakes incorporate finned alloy drums with golden-yellow-painted outer faces and utilize duplex actuation at the front wheels.
The cabin is trimmed in black leather with white piping over bucket seats for two with matching upholstery over the door panels, fold-down rear bench seat, and rear side panels. Beige carpeting lines the floors and rear seatback, and additional features include black lap belts, bright sill and door-jamb plates, a polished shift knob, a lockable glovebox, and a radio.
The wood-rimmed steering wheel sits ahead of a body-color dash that houses a 210-km/h speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and gauges monitoring fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 6k kilometers (~4k miles).
The 1,884cc Tipo 1306 inline-four features an aluminum cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers, dual overhead camshafts, and twin Weber carburetors. A mechanical refresh performed by D.L. George Historic Motorcars in Cochranville, Pennsylvania, between 2012 and 2014 included rebuilds of the carburetors, repair of the water pump pulley, the addition of MSD electronic ignition and a 50-amp alternator, and replacement of the fuel pump, fuel hoses, cooling hoses, and spark plugs. The battery was replaced in December 2020.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via an all-synchromesh four-speed manual transmission. The mechanical refresh between 2012 and 2014 included rebuilds of the clutch and pressure plate as well as replacement of the throwout bearing and pilot bearing. Suspension combines an independent front setup and a live-axle rear and utilizes coil springs and telescopic shock absorbers all around.
