VW based? Tiny little tailpipes and the vents in the rear quarters suggest rear engine layout.

That's all I know as well so you get the point and it's Solved!
The picture is of the car on display at Karmann's museum I believe, and I think it dates from the mid 1960's.
Here's a (fairly poor) picture of the front:

I came accross this photo and thought I had seen this before.

I am not sure if the source is correct, because it was on a forum, but I thought it be OK to post it with the puzzle.

This is what it says about this car:

1965 Ghia Wedge
The Italian styling firm of Ghia, ever busy with the Karmann Ghia, and Type 3 Ghia (razor-edge) were not resting back. In 1965 they produced an aircooled update to the Ghia that had more modern styling and a wedge nose somewhat like a pointed version of the type 4.

I'm sure the correct facts will be on that stand next to the car at the Museum in Osnabruck.
How far are you away from Osnabruck Allemano?
