I don't think this is a repost......
Identify the make, year and coachbuilder.

Lancia Astura, by Spohn. 1939.
Make is correct but it is not by Spohn and the date is a few years out.

Cancel F&D, more likely Gaston Grummer!

Neither Fernandez & Darrin or Gaston Grummer.
The coachbuilder is not French.
I'll keep it locked for you for one more try.....
I sympathise with you regarding your reference material - I have the same problem at the moment.
