not to confuse you: there is an obvious USAmerican connection, but not in the meaning of this puzzle.

Is it a Ford Zephyr/Zodiac design proposal by Michelotti?

Have a feeling there was one in an article on Michelotti in either Auto Italia or Classic & Sports Car about a year ago.  I can't exactly remember which.

Is this a late 1960s Ford prototype? Left hand drive, so either Continental (ie Germany) or a US 'compact car'.

I posted both my puzzles in the wrong place today...
They were meant to be in the Rookies section but since you've asked this I'll answer you before I move it.

Ford is the right marque but not much else!
Sorry for making such a mess...

Not really; the base was from North America but the car as you see it wasn't built there.
My Reply #2 should perhaps have said that, as it is based on a US compact car.

I think so, though I haven't seen any actual proof of it.
