2013Alfa Romeo 164 Coupé
The Alfa Romeo 164 is a typical car of the late eighties, with straight lines that seem to stretch the body. Unfortunately Alfa Romeo never built a two-door coupé version of this beautiful car. To create the coupé I got rid of the rear doors, moved the B-pillar backwards, chopped the top and reshaped the C-pillar. The lower suspension and a set of larger diameter wheels completely create a more serious attitude.

Looks perfect and timelessly beautiful.

Hello Wolfgang,
thank you very much for the kind words.
With a few years passed between the creation of this 164 and now, I think the wheels may be better with an inch less diameter.
Best regards

This job has been done for real in 1985 by Pininfarina, who also created a one-off cabriolet version. See for yourself: https://www.carrozzieri-italiani.com/listing/alfa-romeo-164-coupe/
The smaller wheels look better indeed.

Hello Ferdinand,
thank you for the heads up. Interesting take by Pininfarina. The taillights spoil the design unfortunately.
Best regards
Sebastian
