What is this car, built by whom and when - for 1 point?

Fiat 508 C (1938) bodied in 1955 by Geburth (Austria)

someone says that this car was built on the chassis of a Fiat 508 C; but the engine is from a 1100/103.

Yes, that's the car.
Here are some more pictures - pre- and post-restoration:

The car look like a NSU FIAT 1100 Neckar coupé :

Yes, I think they both use Facel Vega rear-lights..

The coachbuilder is listed in the Beaulieu Encyclopedia as Karosserie Gebruth, Vienna.
Can anyone tell me the correct spelling?

Googling 'Gebruth' produces no results at all...

Renault Fregate, by Facel?

targhediferro · « **Reply #15 on:** January 02, 2013, 02:53:40 AM »

sorry, neither Fregate nor Facel.

I see there's an early bathtub Porsche in the background. Perhaps it's a German car (eg...bathtub Porsche) rebodied.
My first thought when I saw this was a Siata Berlinetta by Balbo, but that's obviously not it.

targhediferro · « **Reply #18 on:** January 04, 2013, 12:25:15 PM »

Neither Porsche, nor Balbo connections.

Lancia Flaminia base?

Sorry, I didn't notice that this car was recently the object of another Topic, so I think it's better to remove this one: Anyway the car is a Fiat 508C 1100 chassis from 1938, with a body realized in 1952 from Karosserie Geburth, Wien.
Tomorrow I'll nove the Topic.

Nice idea, but those are just Opel Kapitän rear lights.
