Tune in to CBS' "60 Minutes" tonight Nov. 28 (NY area: Ch. 2, 7:00 pm EST) to see Dustin Hoffman get behind the wheel of a 1967 Duetto as he reminisces about his role in "The Graduate" more than three decades ago. NYAROC provided assistance to the show's producers in finding a suitable car for him to drive on the West Coast.

Since that show aired, many have wrote in offering some tidbits. Here are 2.

Dan Goldman has pictures and writes:
The owner of one of the two 1600 spiders used in the Movie is owned by;
Dale Macgowan
Specialist
Alfa West

Some have questioned the seats, steering wheel, etc. as not being a '67!

Here is description that appeared on the Alfa BB, of the 60
Minutes Duetto. This explains the seats.

The car is a 1967 Duetto with 1969 Spider seats. It was restored for someone who owned a catering company in the early 90's and the later purchased in the mid 90's by Beverly Hills 90210 star Jason Priesley. He had the car for a few years before putting it on consignment at Grand Prix Classics in Hollywood, CA. The current owner had had the car for at least five years now. It's a really nice car and still has it's original 1600.
