For one point, provide the year, make, model, and coachbuilder of this convertible.

Up! 

This one should go quickly

The base car is a Fiat 1900. Body by Allemano, if I'm not wrong.

I have another coachbuilder... but as the model should be correct I guess it's locked for you...

[sixtee5cuda]

As suggested by ALS15, this car is based on a Fiat 1900.  Coachbuilder was not Allemano.

LOCKED for ALS15

Ghia, 1954.
To be honest, I had to check on a book because I'd never had told it is by Ghia. Definitely an unusual styling.

I don't think so... this design is quite similar to a lot of Chrysler by Ghia (designed by Virgil Exner) from that period... it's indeed unusual for an european car, but it's usual for Ghia...

You are definitely right!  Sometimes I've a too Fiat-centric vision...

Als15 gets the point for the correct answer.

I was surprised when I found this car.  It obviously shares many traits with Chrysler-based Ghias of the 1950's, but on a much smaller scale.

It certainly fooled me. On first seeing it, I went immediately to my Chrysler/Ghia files . . . Guess I should have concentrated a bit more on the Ghia side. Great puzzle.
