Searching for another car on the web I came across several Fissore bodied cars. And many of them have these particular side inlets just like the puzzle car, so my best guess would be a Fissore design (see attached example). Not Italian I believe, so I think it is a DKW by Fissore. If correct, still need to figure out model, year etc.
Perhaps the quiz car lost its rear wings and got a fast-back line during a photo-shop battle?
1965 DKW-Fissore "1000SE" built on the Auto Union 1000SP in Argentina IASFe (Industrias Automotriz Santa Fe)?

You're right and if I'd seen your answer I would have locked it for you, but I'm afraid you're out of luck because...

streamliner has nipped in and given me the right answer for the point!
Here's the original picture used for the puzzle photo:
Mekubb can have the point. I never would have tried, but it was just waiting there. The puzzle car came up on a couple threads with just DKW and Fissore Googled. :-[

Don't worry. You got in with the full answer first so get the point.
I doubt whether mekubb will be upset; he'll be getting plenty more!
