1964 Alfa Canguro - Early Giugiaro Concept Car

According to this Wikipedia entry, famed designer Giogetto Giugiaro's second concept car design was the 1964 Alfa Romeo Canguro, built by Bertone.

This was shortly after his work on the classic early 1960s Alfa Romeo sport coupes.  These designs have a different character, possibly because, as mentioned here in my post about the 1963 Chevrolet Corvair Testudo concept car, the Testudo was the first car where Giugiaro had a totally free hand in the design.  The coupes carried over influence from earlier designs, this potentially limited what Giugiaro could produce.

That said, it's likely that the Canguro was mostly or entirely Giugiaro's work, given his independence on the Testudo.

Most images in the Gallery below are probably via Bertone.

The Canguro has flowing lines, unlike production Alfa Romeo coupes.  Its most distinguishing feature is the stack of air vents on the front fender.

Publicity photo.  As with many concept cars, front bumper protection is absent.

No rear bumper either.  The back is the sliced body profile at that point: no shaping or blending.

The Alfa shield on the grille has black egg-crate bars.  The general feeling is organic, rather than structural.

Photo taken at an auto show, the people standing behind the Canguro providing scale.  Also note the woman in an above image.  The car's really quite small.
