Right!
This car started life as a Studebaker Six-cylinder in 1962.
I have no further details, except that it was for sale in 1968 in Belgium.

Is there anyone who recognize the builder?
The way the rear pillar joins the side of the car is quite particular...

I'll award you a point now and keep it here for a while.

The body looks like taylored in Italy, but it could be made in a cleverly copied "Italian" style as well..
Bumper and wheels seems to be not the original ones.

Now it gets harder.
I do not have the answer, so your guesses have to come with a valid proof...
I'm not saying the coachbuilder is from Belgium: the car was there for sale, so it is a possibility, but not a fact.
If someone recognize this Studebaker Special, he will come with a motivated answer and will get the point.

Now I'm speculating, but Pininfarina adopted that treatment of the rear pillar on the side of the car with the belt line making a curve just like this car since 1955, with a Ferrari 345 America, then in 1956 with a Jaguar MK VII etc but after the Flaminia Florida of 1957, these features are combined with small rear fins, like in the Flaminia Coupe of 1958 and laters models, but I can't find all these elements in the same car at the same time.
In addition to that, I'm sure if someone has got a Pininifarina car to sell in an Italian magazine, the name of the coachbuilder will be mentioned and underlined.
