It is an OSCA, but not an MT4 nor from 1955.
Locked for 24 hours for you to find which one and answer the remaining question.
At a deeper sight...The car is what is generally known as Osca 1500 Fantuzzi, 1953;
According to much more than one expert, it seems this car is a puzzle between an Osca Engine (MT4) and a Fiat 1100 E chassis, and there is no prove that it was really made by Fantuzzi.
I suppose it has no documents and no plate.

It is that car, yes.
But there is more known about it!
It's not based on a Fiat 1100 E chassis but that of another (1953) Fiat.
Which one?
And when did it gain that Fantuzzi body?
Locked for taghediferro's reply, but I'll give you a nice colour photo of this beautiful car just to enjoy whilst looking!
As you'll be able to check, there are many opinion about the origin of this car: Someone tells it has a 1100/103 chassis, others suppose it to be a 1100E or 1100B (with particular attention to front suspensions).
The year usually reported as the Fantuzzi body arrive, is 1962.
(I have this car in the box of the suspect-fake)
