Neither Fiat nor Bertone had any hand in this, I'm afraid.

Except for the sloping front this car looks like a Frua-designed Glas 1300 GT / 1700 GT (or the 1600 BMW version): General shape, wheel arch, windows, even the front bumper and the indicators... The license plate holder looks Swiss, but I couldn't find anything matching and mixing the Frua-Glas-Switzerland components :(

Oh, but you're on to something! This is indeed a Frua design.

Correct! The 1971 Ford Monte Carlo GT by Frua.

I'm almost tempted to give DynaMike a point for seeing it was a Frua. Almost ;)
