Who knows this car?

Ford Comete?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #2 on:** August 15, 2012, 06:44:42 PM »

Not french.

Such an awesome picture!

I must agree with faksta, that is a cool, dramatic photograph.

May I backtrack, Grobmotorix, to ask "Is this a European Ford product?"?

No Ford connection, sorry...

Lancia?

No, but it is italian.

Here´s another action shot from a different angle:

That seating position!

I know they say the Italians like to drive hunched over the wheel, but ...

Is it an Alfa Romeo Giulietta?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #10 on:** September 25, 2012, 02:04:57 PM »

Well, not a Lancia, not an Alfa Romeo - there´s not too much left, now...

frederick59 · « **Reply #11 on:** September 25, 2012, 02:47:13 PM »

could it be a Cisitalia?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #12 on:** September 25, 2012, 03:20:17 PM »

I think it is a Fiat by Ghia.

grobmotorix · « **Reply #13 on:** September 25, 2012, 03:26:40 PM »

It is indeed a Fiat.

And a Ghia, but there was a specific name for this...

LOCKED for you.

faksta · « **Reply #14 on:** September 26, 2012, 02:53:41 PM »

Just noticed the way they've put a racing number on the car

It looks a lot like the 1949 Fiat 1100 Sircafi by Ghia. The other photos I have found, seem to include semaphores in the front fenders, not visible on the puzzle car.

If this is the car, any idea what "Sircafi" means?

grobmotorix · « **Reply #16 on:** September 26, 2012, 06:20:16 PM »

I think this should be enough for a point.

It seems to have been a Fiat 1100 with a Super Sport body by SIRCA GHIA.

Is it the only car in the world 100% pictures of which are absolutely stunning?

SIRCA was a car dealer in Milan and got the exclusive for some Ghia products. This is a sport version of the Supergioiello, only marketed by SIRCA.
I think the name stands for Società Italiana per la Riparazione e la Commercializzazione di Automobili (Italian Company for Repairing and Sales of Cars), but I'm not 100% sure.

Wow, thank you for this additional information!
