NEH 2152: 1964 OSCA 1050 S Coupé by Corbetta or Touring

[SACO]

Not  Fiat 1500 coupe by Vignale !

[marmer]

Not an Italian coachbuilder, right?

[SACO]

It's an Italian coachbuilder !

[marmer]

Is this an ASA or something Fiat-adjacent?

[SACO]

Not an ASA but something Fiat-adjacent !

[SACO]

Experts !

[D-type]

A Giannini?

[SACO]

Not a Giannini !

[richard fridd]

Does Fiat adjacent mean it's Italian?

[marmer]

Yes, I meant it as a company closely associated with Fiat, like Autobianchi or Abarth.

[SACO]

Yes , the base, like many Italian cars, is Fiat !

This car was also puzzled in 2012 and 2016 by Carnut:

NEH 2152 OSCA 1050 S Coupe Corbetta - 1964
and
NEH 4838 OSCA 1050S Touring coupe

The coupe was probably built by Corbetta.  As stated in NEH 4838, multiple online sources claim the builder as Touring.

I can see how a search of solved puzzles would miss this one.  Maybe when the puzzles are merged, it should be called:

1964 OSCA 1050 S Coupe by Corbetta or Touring

[Wendax]

Merged and header amended

[SACO]

I think that when a view of the car is unknown, it is necessary to redo a puzzle ! 

[Carnut]

I don't have a problem with that!

I would say the coupe was almost certainly not built by Touring but by Corbetta. The simple shapes of the flat windows are almost kit-car in appearance, and would be much more likely to be fitted by a very minor builder like Corbetta but almost certainly not by a major Carrozzeria like Touring.

Ok !
