1750/2000

Bertone was commissioned to "clothe" these dimensions in a more modern shape that would, however, still show its ties to the Giulia; this is evident especially in the shape of the roof. Giugiaro, who followed the development of the 1750 up to the construction of the styling model, designed a smooth side characterized by a thin ribbing that starts at the rear wheel arch and straightens out above. The front and back views are simple and uncluttered. The grille, with double circular headlights of the same diameter, recalls the design of the Giulia Sport Special. Neither the engine hood nor the trunk has any decorative frills. After his first two Mazda attempts, Giugiaro made a brilliant show of the three-box four-door sedan theme with the 1750. And did so with a very modern and elegant sedan, so devoid of decorative motifs that it foreshadowed the idea of reduced-to-a-minimum shapes that was to culminate in the FIAT Uno.
