no
Looks sort of like a Matra D'jet.

Like a VW based Puma from Brazil by DKW ?
I was thinking that too, cannot find a good match though.
It does not look like a Fiat Abarth of any kind either.
.
That cut line under the rear window shows similar DNA to the Matra.

I still want to look into the possible South American connection before looking to France or Italy.
There is no Swiss or German influence in there, right?
I was Googling Swiss coach builders, and found this.

Sounds complex, I did not know the intent of there being a desired
book based research process.
I've always tried to provide a link to any articles or photos as a measure to give proper credit. It also avoids the eventual request or PM:
Hey where did you find that!It is easy to trace a "hot-link", so can I still hot-link?

Sorry but no. Hot or cold, it's all the same to us.
There are other ways to prove your identification.
Brazilian
So what car is that anyway?
a clue: 1960s
:scratch:

Based on a Brazilian Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia TC?
It was made before the TC.
The car shares a vague resemblance to the Pininfarina Fiat-Abarth 500 Coupe that was displayed at the 1957 Turin Show.
However I believe it has nothing to do with either Fiat or Pininfarina as the wheelbase is too short.
It might have inspired the design of this car though.
I don't think we have clearly established the base of this car.
I now presume it is a VW with a one-off body?
Bump!
VVW-based one-off, yes
Please, someone move it to Pros, I´ve send it here by mistake
Moved to Professionals and hopefully solved ;D: 1967 Carpo VW from Brasil?
Nice scan! :o Glad that this one is finally solved.
Have we had the red coupe on the top right here yet? I think I have it queued up as a puzzle somewhere
yes
