Is it a question or are you thinking out loud?

It could be a stage direction:  O0

But seriously... is it Italian?

I found it on the Hemmings blog, but it is only described as Pinin Farina's Alfa show car.

Hey, I like that! I mean that your identification is not complete, but I had the car from another source and, thanks to you, we learn that this car, or its sibling, was Bob Koto's property. This is worth one point.
O.K, it's an Alfa Romeo by Pininfarina. Model name, year, displacement? These informations will get you another.

This is hugo90 reserved playground for 48 hours. After that, anybody can play.

1946 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Pinin Farina Cabriolet Speciale designed by Pietro Frua, chassis #915.169, engine #923.969. Awesome looking car!

And that photo was taken on the 1947 Monte Carlo Concours d'Elegance. ;D
