Solved - NEH 2017: Fiat 1100 Lombardi - 1950

What's this, by whom, from when - for 1 point (and I do know the picture exists on AP already but it's never been a puzzle..):

Fiat by Francis Lombardi?  (Closely resembles another puzzle car, but seems to be newer)

It is a Fiat, but not by Lombardi.

Actually you were right, it is by Lombardi.
Locked for you therefore to complete the other parts of the question.

Sorry Ray!

I just found a picture indicating this is based on a 1950 Fiat 1100

Oh..  I have it as being based on a Topolino as per your earlier reply.
Any experts throw any light on this for us?!

I'd have thought too big to be based on a Topolino. :-\

It's a lot smaller than a 1950 Studebaker.  :)

The previously puzzled 1950 Fiat 500C (Topolino) coupe by Lombardi, does seem slightly smaller than this 1950 Fiat Lombardi.  The 500C has wider-appearing fenders, perhaps because the main body is narrower?

Can you imagine walking into a showroom, and seeing two different Fiat/Lombardi interpretations of the 1947 Studebaker in the same place?

OK, I can call it solved as an 1100 but that conflicts with what it says about it in the General Automotive section where it appears in the Fiat Fuoriserie thread on p2...?

I think this is the same model Fiat...an 1100 by Francis Lombardi.

In my opinion, sixtee5cuda deserves the point.

Thanks, yes, that looks like a variation on the theme so I agree - sixtee5cuda gets a point and no-one has objected so we'll call this one solved.
