This is not a repost! I need base car, coachbuilder and year. A point hangs in the balance!

dracu777:

As an Expert (20 points), you are precluded from answering rookie puzzles.

Are you sure Rookies have not seen the reply? If you think they haven't, that's OK, otherwise it may be a bit unfair.

Actually I think dracu777 posted his answeer when he still only had 18 points. 
I didn't promote him until around midnight last night UK time when he solved 2 of my puzzles...

As has happened often with other Rookies who have solved multiple Rookie puzzles in a day, and in doing so moved from Rookie to Expert rank, the first 20 points got him to the promotion, and those points that would be subsequently tallied were deemed moot.

However, there is no hard and fast rule on this subject. I deferred to the will of the puzzle poster, who PM'd me about his dilemma.

No, I can't be sure. I suppose we'll have to depend upon the honesty of whomever solves it.  :)

Consensus says, "Can it" and so it shall be.
Consider is "Solved".
Pininfarina’s 2600PF Coupé Speciale apparently shown at the 1962 Turin Auto show.
Based on an unmodified Alfa Romeo 2600 Spider platform (chassis no 16601), known as ‘prototipo 621’ .

An interesting design. Pininfarina used almost the same front end for the '64 Corvette Rondine, and a very similar rear theme (albeit with more overhang) for the Chevrolet Corvair Coupe II from the same year as the Alpha.

Actually the Rondine, resp. its rear-end was the blueprint of another PF styling icon: the Spidereuropa aka the Fiat 124 Spider.

Hey - yeah! I'd never made that connection before.

And now that I think about it, the '61 Cadillac Jacqueline's rear was a predictor of the Corvair's and the Alfa's

Here's a Pininfarina photo, showing the puzzle car (bottom) and above it its sister convertible, which has been puzzled already on AP.

I wonder if all the cars mentioned above are the work of Tjaarda or was there a Pininfarina 'corporate look' at the time defined by his work?

I think they're all Tjaarda's work whilst he was chief stylist there.
