Identify the base car and the coachbuilder and score a point.
Rookies have apparently no idea but I'm pretty sure Experts have.
The car seems to have driven over some iron filings. Fiat 1900 ?
Fiat: Yes
1900: No
I can see now that the car is smaller than it looks - clever coachbuilding. Probably a Fiat 1100.
Yet again I've got involved in a puzzle where I am out of my depth - I know zilch about coachbuilders . Viotti ?
Indeed Fiat 1100 based.
Coachbuilder is not Viotti.
I give you another chance. LOCKED for you.
I have had to revert to a "certain list" but it's not there. Is it an Italian coachbuilder ?
Yes it is. Just don't look too far.
Balbo ?
You are looking way too far. It is so obvious that it is not even mentioned in PJ's Italian coachbuilder list.
Last chance before I unlock it again.
It may be obvious to you, but like I say, I know zilch about this sort of thing. I notice you have deleted a badge from the grille, and I've been thinking about coachbuilders who did that.
Farina ?
It is not Farina (They did no longer exist when this car was made) but because you are so close, you can try a last time before I unlock it again.
Well, must be Pininfarina. ;D
Now, we are getting somewhere.
It is indeed a Fiat 1100 based Pininfarina creation.
Surprisingly, it is not mentioned in the Pininfarina catalogue raisonné.
I cut the car out of it's environment because only the floor would already reveal the coachbuilder (for people familiar with Pininfarina studio pics):
Do you have an year for this beauty?

Unfortunately, I don't.
But what I can do is post another rather unknown (also not present in the catalogue raisonné nor als15's Fuoriserie book series) Pininfarina creation, this time on Fiat 1900 basis :D:
Nice! thanks!

Is it just me seeing these out of proportion then? At least 5 times as high as it is wide..

I think most cars were back then - ever sat in an A30 ?

Better than that - I've driven one!
Seriously though, the picture is some 2 cbm wide but 20 cbm high and it's impossible to tell what the car looks like!

I see the picture with the correct proportion...

I do too on the computer I'm on now (at work) so it's clearly a Settings problem with my home computer.
I'll try Ultra's advice this evening.
