Not an American car nor an Italian body; year is correct though!

It looks like a Conrero but I am a bit puzzled about the non-italian body

It's a 1953 Ferrari 166MM, chassis 0300M - delivered with a Vignale Berlinetta body, re-bodied in 1954 as a Barchetta by Brussels coachbuilder Martial Oblin (one of only three cars they bodied apparently).
