What's this and who built it for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

According to my current source, which I suspect is yours, even the year I quoted was wrong.

CARNEVALLI - FIAT 508 C SPORT - 1100 cc. - 1937

But!  I found another web site that calls a 1946. Your choice.

Well they're both right really as the 508C on which it is based would be 1937 but the bodywork would have been added in 1946/7!
Either way you've got it!
