One point for you, if you know who did this redesign and on what car.

Osca by Carlo Mollino

By the way, Mollino was an italian architect, who also was an excellent skier and racer. He designed fantastic furniture and interiors and made erotic photographs.
He also designed the bisiluro, a catamaran racecar, based on an Nardi and raced it at Le Mans in 1955, but he was pushed from the road by a bigger car.

Coincidentally, i wrote an article about Mollino in a dutch magazine, it will be in the bookstores from next week on.

Thats a coincidence indeed!!

Well done! one point is yours.

By the way: Which magazine would that be?

It seems this may be the 1953 OSCA MT-4 which Mr. Damonte entered in Le Mans in 1953.  (possibly the Vignale OSCA from 1952?)  I suspect the puzzle car images are actually design studies (paintings) of further modifications of the car.

The attached image and the puzzle car have many similarities.
