 :shakehead:

Another little clue: is mentioned in one of my books (of course, talking about another car) and is a very long-life small coachbuilder, somehow still active today, as far as I know...

I cant believe: this name is not so famous as Pininfarina or Bertone, but as well not more strange than Riva...
As I said, is also in one of my books and made (and I think still makes) ambulances, commercial vans and mobile-shops.

The first and most difficult part of the puzzle is gone!
Now, let's find the base-model.
Another clue: even if the body is definitely new, the rims are original...

I know nothing about pre-war stuff.  Even if it is Italian.

Is based on a 514, 515, 521, 522 or 524 Fiat?

Of course.  :D
But not in the early models: in the "midlife" restyling". This narrows the choice: they would be actually 3, but you forgot to mention the 512... so is one ot the other 2...

I'll go for 503.  I think the wheelbase of a 507 is a bit too large...

No, it's indeed a 507, made in 1927-'28 and re-bodied as a mobile library by Introzzi in mid-30s.
The point is however your, beacuse it was narrowed to 50-50 guess.
