Is it the one-off 1954 Alfa Romeo 1900 CSS Ghia Speziale Coupe ?

Isn´t that the same car? My source says it was a one-off. Are there any other informations about this/these cars?

I guess that these are 2 different cars, the 2000 looks lower in profile and seems to have bigger wheels than the 1900. The grill cratings is not exactly the same (I have a front view of the 2000 in a book about Ghia). Two one-offs with very similar styling is my guess. Maybe the 2000 was the first and the first owner of the 1900 liked this show car so much he got Ghia to make one copy on his 1900-chassis?

That´s why I love to waste my time here!   ;D

Cool, I´ve always thought there´s only the 1900 version...
