Yes, I have this car as being built by Carrozzeria Motto, so you have earned a point!
Well done.

Here's a colour rear view:
It's a nice car!  :)

It's from a great era.
Here's the unmodified puzzle picture, which is the same as the one you posted although yours said it was from 1956!

Except you wrote in that thread:

No Allemano connection here!

The rear lights in your puzzle are actually different from those of the car I posted showing a rear view.
Since it's a Michelotti design I wonder if it was given to other Carrozzieri too for them to interpret, and your puzzle car was not by Motto?  If it was then it's a repost...

I guess it was built by Motto, too, but who knows? Of course I would have said 'Moretti' before.
Michelotti built only very few cars in his own workshop considering the huge amount of designs he made for other coachbuilders.
