Topic: SAC#230 :Fiat Canta (1400 or 1900 )from Argentina

And in fact I was wrong. This is not the Vignale-styled version. And I don't know who made it.
The base is a Fiat 1500 or a slightly later 1600 (125).

Pros ?

Fiat 1100 Coupé?

I don't know !
I only know the type : "FIAT..."

1400?

Doubtless ,but it's a strange badge :
Fiat 140 Fuoriserie

  Doubtless hand-made.
140 is a dropped project number from the '70s, for a luxury sedan never made (if I'm not wrong). I'm almost sure that who made this car didn't actually refer to the real Fiat 140 project.

Doesn't that badge say "Fiat 441 Fuoriserie"?

Coachbuilder could be Canta for me...

For me it's a Canta Fiat 1400 with later modifications, like the new grille (the central triangular grille looks like the front grille of an Abarth Fiat 600) and lights, and the badge (the shape is from the 70s with the new blue badge)...
What do you think??

[Iluvatar]

Just to compare with the Canta body (on other models with identical style: Fiat 1900 and Lancia Aurelia)

[SACO]

It seems to be the good solution  
Fiat Canta (1400 or 1900 )from Argentina !
1 point for Iluvatar !

The car looks shorter then the 1400 in the period pic you post...
Maybe it's a 1100??

And Canta was based in Turin and - AFAIK - never exported to Argentina. Perhaps a Cisitalia local production under license or one of their imports (e.g. they sold under their brand Fissore's cars).
And the period picture is - if I'm not wrong - from an Italian magazine featuring a Turin motor show, so no sure connection with the modern pictures is actually proven...
