Pininfarina Bentley ?

Pinin Farina (rather than Pininfarina) - yes, but Bentley - no.

1949 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 SS Berlinetta Pininfarina.

..as this is correct, yes.

Pictured is the front view; as far as I am aware this is the very first car to feature twin headlights as they became populur from 1957/8 right through the 1960s, 70s and 80s.  I have a book which says the Dodge Firerarrow from 1953 was the first car to feature them, but this Alfa Romeo pre-dates that by a good 5 years.
