A rather bland coupé but quite nice nontheless...
Identify the make, model, year and coachbuilder for one point.

Not the coachbuilder I have and the year is slightly earlier than 1953

This is a Fissore 1100 if I remeber correctly...
The design is really similar to Accossato one...

Another point for you.
Bad luck Facel you were just beaten to it.

This one is a bit confusing !!

From reasonably reliable sources have a pic captioned Accossato Fiat 1100 '53 Michelotti design
(two-tone car which looks very like the puzzle car)
Also pics of '53/'54 Fissore which looks very different & also a '55 Fissore which has a similar grille ,but the rest is somewhat different

I'm quite open to further discussion on this.....
My source is a French book on Italian coachwork - usually accurate from this source but not infallible.
Perhaps others can comment?

The Accossato car is for sure an Accossato... the name is written on the side... the similar Fissore has a badge and it looks quite similar to Fissore one...
Most likely Michelotti, designer of the Accossato, used the same lines he had created for the Fissore...
Maybe als15 knows more...

In Nada's book about Fissore, page 67, there is exact the same picture..
I think it is a Fissore
