Fiat 1500 Glenn by Vignale, 1962.
This is a mystery car for me.
Two points are offered for this puzzle.
My source reports make and model for this car but not a coachbuilder. So one point is for this correct answer.
Another point goes for telling what famous person, according to my source, is related to this car.
I think the car is re-post but the request according that famous person isn't...

Absolutely correct!
But was this car built for him or just named after him?
My source says "as a tribute to" - it doesn't mention that it was for him specifically.
Hard to see on this picture, but the 'Glenn' had a T-roof.
One year earlier, in 1961, an (almost) identical spider was made.
Was this the same car that was modified?
