The Alfa Romeo 1900 was made from 1950 to 1959. It was an important development for Alfa Romeo as the marque's first car built entirely on a production line and first production car without a separate chassis.
The 1900 was offered in two-door or four-door models with a new 1884cc 4-cylinder twin cam engine. The same year the 1900TI with a more powerful 100 bhp engine with a double carburetor was introduced.
In 1952 the 1900 Super and 1900 TI Super (also 1900 Super Sprint) with 1975 cc engine were introduced. The TI Super had two double carburetors and 115 bhp (86 kW). Transmission was a 4-speed manual on basic versions and 5-speed manual in Super Sprint version.
In Alfa Romeo nomenclature the 4-door saloon is a Berlina, the 2-door coupé a Sprint, and the 2-door convertible a Spider.
The chassis was designed to allow coachbuilders to rebody it, the most notable being the Zagato designed 1900 Super Sprint coupé, with an improved engine and custom body design.
The Alfa Romeo 1900M AR51 (or "Matta") is a four-wheel drive off-road vehicle based on the 1900-series.
