That's completely right, another point to Ropat53. I think it was called "rubia" because of the colour, as rubia means red in Spanish.

I'm quite sure this is not Balilla based, and probably neither a Fiat; I'd say a Citroen.

Google translate, and various car-based sites, indicate that "rubia" means "blonde", because of the "blonde" or nearly white wood used on many woodies.

It is possible; my Spanish is not good, and I had this capture in my archive but I can't remember where it comes from.

I don't think "la rubia", "the blonde" in Spanish is correct, seems as thought it is the name of the car.
Rubia means estate or station wagon in Spain, it also means blonde (female).
