Frua Fiat 1100 Spyder - 1955

What's this, by whom and from when - for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

It's a Fiat 1100 Spyder all right, but not by Frua.
Locked for you to have another ago at who made it!

Sorry to insist, but it's indeed by Frua (not only as the designer but also as the coachbuilder).
Here is a period picture: I made a close-up of the logo, and it's quite easily recognizable.

Please, PM if you would like to discuss about your source.

I bow to your superior knowledge als15 - you are of course right!
I'll PM you the site from where I took the photo and you might like to send them an email putting them right!
I've done so before with this site and they have been very eager to correct the info and admit their error!
