It's by Fissore but it's not an Osca nor is it from 1962 or 1963!

No, it's not a Fiat and it's not from 1960!

Cisitalia DF 85 coupè Fissore 1961
This car has the chassis n. 118S-003727 and engine 118000-001791 who are numbers of a Fiat 1600S:  In effect the Cisitalia DF85 is simply a Fiat 1600 Fissore, badged as Cisitalia in Argentina.
Here you are the imagines of the other two cars...the same indeed

Yes, you're right!
They were simply Fiat 1500 Fissores shipped out to Argentina, where Piero Dusio was intending to revive his Cisitalia name.  They were re-badged as Cisitalia DF85 and it's believed betwen 15 and 30 were delivered.

This one has been completely rebuilt and was auction at Bonhams, and here's a front view of it:
