[Paul Jaray]

Not Astura nor Motto...

[Allemano]

Lancia Ardea?

Not an Aurelia....

Hey, I can read! And I don't want to get a lock for my clumsy attempts!
I want to know what it is, that's all!

Is it built in the fifities or earlier?

[Allemano]

okay, I think 75america is better on this..

It was not my intention to be too oppressive, but IMHO the fact that the complete guess only got the point was not the same thing as 'I won't lock it for incomplete answers'...

It is a Lancia Aprilia by Boneschi and it is from 48....my source calls it in a different way (Boneschi had several lines of design, like the Pin-Up Cab, the Cab Country and this one).
I must confess that looking at his designs on Fiat chassis, the Pin-Up Cab seems most likely the correct one...
Now I can lock it for 75america.

@ PJ: PM sent

[Paul Jaray]

OK, no need to keep it going...
My source calls it 'Super Cab', that is another line, with a different treatment of the lights, for example.
75america's source is by far more reliable than mine and as I wrote I suspected before he is right.
Here you are the unmodified version of the car

[Paul Jaray]

Well done!
Not the best design by Boneschi, but....

Here you have a picture of the Lancia Aprilia Super Cab 48 that PJ was referring to:
