That's not the same car, but you are very close.

Can you tell us the full name the mystery car was presented with?

Pininfarina Fiat Dino Coupé Ginerva?

[SeaLion]

I've now checked my two books about Pininfarina, and both cars is refered to as just Fiat Dino Coupé, nothing more nothing less. The puzzle car (with doble round rearlights) was displayed in 1968 in Geneva. The other very similar car was displayed in 1967 at the Paris Salon. If it is another "full" name of the puzzle car, then this puzzle will probably stay unsolved. This is my final answer.

The C pillars in all of your pictures do not match the picture Karn posted, FWIW.

It is actually the same car with a different roof, many italian designers did that trick in the 60-s. Of course I could find a picture of the 1968 Geneva Dino Coupé, but that would not be as interesting as Karn have allready showed a picture of that rear end.

This is is the front of the 1968 Geneva Fiat Dino Coupé (the puzzle version of the car):

And here is another Fiat Dino Coupé by Pininfarina, this time the year was 1966, and there was two bodystyles:

Nice job with all the versions of the coupe.

Much more than the greenhouse and taillights are different. Look at the front bumper, headlight doors, under-bumper area, door handles, etc. I believe these to be two distinct, separate cars.

I'll accept 1968 Pininfarina Fiat Dino Coupé Ginevra (sp).

[Otto Puzzell]

Well, you were right, I was wrong. In Paolo Martin's own words, he refers to the Fiat Dino Geneva as an "adaptation of Dino Paris - needs more sports".

Holy Delayed Explanation Batman!

If your explanation takes more than a year, you may be suffering from priapost syndrome. Please consult your doctor immediately.

The old pics are lost, so, here are new ones of this spectacular car:

[D-type]

Surely that's a different car from the first post?

[Allemano]

Of course it is, but the one I've posted was discussed in this topic and shown as well!

But if you like I add the other one, too.

This caused a sudden flash of recognition. Here's another couple of shots of the 1967 car, from the Automobile Club of Italy's World Car Catalogue 1968.
