locked for You and well deserved a point
but I need correct year of made

[Carnut]

Actually I have just found out this puzzle is a repost:

www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=5926.0

But the solution doesn't mention a date!

From what I can glean it seems to date from 1959, although some sites mention 1962...
Believe the 1962 car was actually the new 6-cylinder 210 (also designed by Ghia) so the 1959 date is most probably the correct one.

i did search for this in solved section but i do not know why it wasn't there
as I know this was Ghia proposal from 1962 both sedan and station wagon for new model range for FSO Warszawa
there was driveable prototypes but due political order those was scrapped, unfortunetly
should I give a point for a repost puzzle?

Actually I think the 1959 date is far more likely.
Ghia would never have come up with such an out-dated proposal as late as 1962, e.g. the suggested fins at the rear; the headlights on top of the front wings.  By 1962 bodywork was much smoother and flatter and the headlights would have been incorporated into the grille as was pretty much the norm already in 1962.  Compare it with other Ghia designs from 1962!

In my defence I didn't know it was a repost until after I had already solved it; it was only whilst looking for the date that I was offered a picture of the car: on AutoPuzzles!

i checked the year one more time and it was 1959, You are right
then what should I do? is it a point for You?

After almost 3 years and over 7,500 posts, you can't be expected to remember everything - robot or not!

Well I believe I earned the point, but then I would say that, wouldn't I?!
Better take advice from one of the moderators.

The 1962 Ghia proposal for a saloon and station wagon was probably the 210 model pictured below, which also never made production...:

I can delete that one from the "to be posted" folder.

Oops, sorry..!
No good asking you if I deserve a point then...!
