I’m just throwing this out there. I want to buy a Giulietta Promiscua or Weekendia station wagon. I realize not many of these were made and I realize if do find one it will be in outer Mongolia, but I want one none-the-less.   I would be willing to trade my SS up or down for one.
I found this picture somewhere on someones blog. If I saw this on a trailer headed some where when I was on the way to my best friends wedding I’d be late for the wedding. This I believe is the Colli version, the Promiscua.

Some rust and crust can be seen here, but I don’t think it’s too bad. I pulled the seal and that weird washer that allows flow through the array of holes under the seal out and set to work with various implements to clean it up.
