It started out as a Citroen Ami 6 Berline, but who built the coupe superstructure, I don't know. Looks to be a professional job. Maybe a firm like Heuliez?

By a 'known carrosserie' or an obscure one?

I consider it an obscure coachbuilder, but France is extremely distant and exotic to me.  To someone from the Continent, they may be well-known.  Their work has been the subject of several previous puzzles.

Not P-P or B.  In fact, those two letters do not appear in the name of this coachbuilder.   :)

Does anybody knows the story of this car? 
D'Ieteren had, as far as I know, in 1962 absolutely no link with Citroën.
Also, I was not aware that D'Ieteren still had a coachbuilding business in 1962.

The other information I have, indicates the car was built by Daniel D'Ieteren.  A quick glance indicates he may run a coachbuilding firm in Belgium.

Here are two other images of the Ami Coupe.
