That's it, yes, although I have the year as 1950.
Apparently it has a unique tubular chassis designed by Gilco.
Here's a front view of this beautiful car:

And now for something completely different.  (Or not very different at all)

For one point, provide the year, make, model, and coachbuilder of this shiny coupe.

The experts will finish this one quickly.

... Supergioiello, chassisnumber #64251. And it's from 1947 made by Ghia!

One point to CG for correctly providing the year, make, and model.

One point to Delorean for providing the coachbuilder and the name Supergioiello.  Internet sources are unclear on the year the car was built.  1947, 1949, or 1950.

I think it is 1950. as the 'Supergioiello' is actually a development of the 'Gioiello' from slightly earlier (see www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18302.0 )

I was convinced I had already posted this stunningly beautiful car as a puzzle, but it simply doesn't seem to be there, so it must have been in my dreams...!:

I posted this puzzle because of the previous 'Gioiello' puzzle.  The 'Gioiello' looks nothing like an Alfa, but the 'Supergioiello' has an obvious Alfa front.

If you look carefully, one thread is titled 'Supergioiella' and the other 'Supergioiello' and the single letter difference confuses the computer!

Thanks.
I've merged them (and changed my typo in the title - thanks D-Type and sorry for causing the confusion with that..!)
