For a point: Where and when was this picture taken?
-
Do Experts know more than Rookies?
-
It looks like Experts don't know the answer either.
Do Pro's know?
-
Is there's a trace to Italy? ;)
-
Italy?
-
Coming from me, no surprise that the picture was indeed taken in Italy.
-
Doesn't look that professional.. Is it some backyard company?
~ mid-seventies?
-
The workshop is linked to a well known name.
Older than the mid-seveties
-
Is it a Fulvia in the shade?
-
long shot: maybe the Neri & Bonacini workshop?
-
I don't believe it's a Fulvia.
It's not the Nembo workshop.
-
You think it's some Alfa Romeo? :D
-
You think it's some Alfa Romeo? :D
I don't have a proof what it is, but I have a suspicion (not an Alfa).
My suspicion is based on the fact where and when the picture was taken + I have another shot of the workshop where the car (partly) appears under a different angle.
I'll post that pic later on (if nobody seems able to solve the puzzle or once the puzzle is solved) ;D.
-
Is it one of the smaller, but not completely obscure Carrozzerias?
-
Output of the carrozzeria was indeed rather small, but it is absolutely not obscure.
-
Eurostyle?
-
Sports Cars?
-
Not Eurostyle.
Depending on your definition of 'Sports cars', but I'd say no.
Most of the cars they made were usable for daily use...and in case they were not, it was almost never because of their sporty character...
(If you ask a difficult question...you can get a difficult answer.) :D
-
Hearse maker ?
-
Carrozzeria Accossato?
-
Scioneri ~ 1965/6?
-
Boneschi?
-
Not a hearse maker.
Not Accossato.
Not Scioneri + older
Not Boneschi
-
Savio?
-
Not Savio.
-
Fissore?
-
Not Fissore.
-
1962-63? Could it be an early Fulvia?
-
Is it a Fulvia in the shade?
1962-63? Could it be an early Fulvia?
Do you have a Fulvia obsession? :D
As I stated earlier, I do not know what the car is, but I think I identified it. That car has nothing to do with the Fulvia.
I think it's time to throw in an additional picture:
-
Moretti?
-
Not Moretti.

:bag:
It was a not very focussed reply I have to confess...
I hope it'll never happen to you...
-
Is it the Michelotti workshop?
-
Yes it is the Carrozzeria Michelotti workshop!
Now, do you also know when the picture was taken?
LOCKED for you.
-
Sorry, I read just the first page...so I gave an answer (wrong) even if it was locked...now I removed it.
-
Looking at the front light design I would go for a 1961-62 Michelotti (OSCA) Fiat 1500/1600*. I'm still not sure as the hood seems to be too short in the workshop picture.
*with or without 'bend' is hard to say from that camera angle
Or is it an ordinary early Fulvia after all?
-
Close enough,
I have it as "Carrozzeria Michelotti workshop in the Via Levanna, 1959"
I think that the following car was in the works. It was presented on the 1960 Paris salon d'auto, so this could match with the pictures taken in 1959.
