[alfa] Hoffman Duetto: CBS can't get facts straight

Kevin, you are making your decisive decision because there are headrests 
on the seats? I will admit Tarus Baloq called it to my attention. So? As 
I mentioned the potential client who brought his '67 Duetto to my shop 
had 14" 5-Star wheels on his car "also". Might not someone have felt 
safer with headrests and purchased later '69 Seats?

While a difficult angle, the spokes on the steering wheel look fairly 
shallow as they would on a '67, whereas the spokes are much deeper on 
the 69's steering wheel.

Do you recall if the front had the '69 only stainless "protection" piece 
over the grill (though admit many owners leave it off)?

Had there been a shot of the rear, it would have been a dead giveaway 
with the 69's ugly block letters as opposed to the elegant Alfa Romeo 
script on the Duettos. (While not technically correct, I consider any 
Series 1, non '69 Round-Tail, to be a Duetto).

On the other hand there might be something you saw or know that I don't?

By the by, 60 Minutes has blown it big time on rare occasions, but feel 
their reporting over the decades has pointed out many important issues 
which would not have otherwise been known to the general public.
