Not a Lancia.
Not 1957
Not Pininfarina as such, although close.

mekubb - you became an Expert at 2313 hrs yesterday (Dutch time) for which congratulations!  Well done. :applause: :applause:

I note you were aware of this as you replied in the puzzle in which you gained your 20th point before you posted this reply which technically means you were not entitled to post it.

However, since it's wrong I'll overlook it, but your new status does mean you may no longer reply to Rookie puzzles, though of course it does mean you mean post your own puzzles in the Rookie section (or anywhere else should you prefer to do so!)

Happy puzzling!

This is a (the?) Pininfarina Bentley Mk VI 'Cresta' 1948 by Facel-Métallon. Just figured out it's an English car, found it on the web a scant moment ago and busted a gusset to post the answer.
