French coachwork on American chassis?

But it is coachbuilt, right?

The style of this car seems really weird, something southern about it though. It's RHD but I cannot imagine it being British. I go for the Latin part of Europe instead, Spain maybe?

Allemano · « **Reply #8 on:** August 24, 2009, 06:18:05 PM »

Latin part of Europe, but not from Spain...

Castagna?

Allemano · « **Reply #10 on:** August 25, 2009, 03:04:19 AM »

Not Castagna.

Allemano · « **Reply #16 on:** August 26, 2009, 03:48:32 AM »

Neither.

Well known Italian coachbuilder?

Allemano · « **Reply #20 on:** August 27, 2009, 01:01:01 AM »

hard to say...at least it's listed on a well known source..

vdp · « **Reply #21 on:** August 27, 2009, 05:47:27 AM »

I am trying to figure out the car it is based on. It's probably an Italian car with in-line six engine, so my guess is Fiat 527.

Allemano · « **Reply #22 on:** August 27, 2009, 07:42:41 AM »

Not a Fiat! And it hasn't a 6 cyl. engine either.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #23 on:** September 01, 2009, 01:47:48 AM »

I think I have found it.

The chassis is Isotta Fraschini, the coachbuilder is Brianza from Milan and this beauty was shown at the 1933 Salon di Milano "con i pannelli dell'abitacolo decorati con intarsi in stile giapponese".

I have found a pic of the side-view of this car on-line which reinforces my guess:
