Only complete answer will get the point: Make-Model-Model's nickname (and the reason for it)-Coachbuilder-Year.
This is not hard.

Lancia Aurelia B50 Coupe Vignale "Italia" from 1950.
But why Italia ? I couldn't find the reason.

A wild guess but could it be "Ginevra" as it was built specifically for the Geneva show?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #4 on:** January 26, 2012, 05:48:34 AM »

Not Ginevra and not named after a place...

Maybe a flower against Pinin Rosa D'oro?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #6 on:** January 26, 2012, 01:34:12 PM »

Not a flower...

An animal?

A star ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #9 on:** January 26, 2012, 04:09:21 PM »

none of the above.

João · « **Reply #10 on:** January 26, 2012, 04:54:24 PM »

A person?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #11 on:** January 26, 2012, 05:15:32 PM »

A person?

More or less...

pguillem · « **Reply #12 on:** January 26, 2012, 05:21:54 PM »

A god ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #13 on:** January 27, 2012, 06:57:41 AM »

Nope...
A clue is needed: this car was built for a person and the name of the car is similar to the owner's name.

João · « **Reply #14 on:** January 27, 2012, 07:00:41 AM »

Actress?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2012, 07:23:58 AM »

Not a female...(but the name of the car is the female conversion of a male name).
He was an actor.

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** January 27, 2012, 07:33:13 AM »

Roberta?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2012, 07:47:48 AM »

Not Roberta. It is not an usual name for a male and not very popular for a female...
The answer can be found online too.

Alda?

Could it be the 1951 Vignale Lancia Aurelia B50, "Erminia"? Named after the Italian actor, Erminio Macario.
