For one point, provide the year, make, model, and coachbuilder of this convertible.
Up!
This one should go quickly
The base car is a Fiat 1900. Body by Allemano, if I'm not wrong.
I have another coachbuilder... but as the model should be correct I guess it's locked for you...
As suggested by ALS15, this car is based on a Fiat 1900. Coachbuilder was not Allemano.
LOCKED for ALS15
Ghia, 1954.
To be honest, I had to check on a book because I'd never had told it is by Ghia. Definitely an unusual styling.

I don't think so... this design is quite similar to a lot of Chrysler by Ghia (designed by Virgil Exner) from that period... it's indeed unusual for an european car, but it's usual for Ghia... ;)
You are definitely right! :-[ Sometimes I've a too Fiat-centric vision...
Als15 gets the point for the correct answer.
I was surprised when I found this car. It obviously shares many traits with Chrysler-based Ghias of the 1950's, but on a much smaller scale.
It certainly fooled me. On first seeing it, I went immediately to my Chrysler/Ghia files . . . Guess I should have concentrated a bit more on the Ghia side. Great puzzle.
