There's a relationship so I'll lock it for you to find out what that is, along with its name.

it is a vw Ghia Karmann, but I don't know the excact date. It was built between 1955 and 1973 or something like that, but this is a more uncommon version I think since it doesn't have the front grilles most do have.

Welcome to AutoPuzzles AppyKing.
We've established it is a VW, but it's nothing to do with the Karmann-Ghia...

OK, open to all Rookies (I should have explained to AppyKing about locking but I'd forgotten it was locked; sorry!)

Similar to the VOLKSWAGEN EA 47 by GHIA in 1955.  If I have good memory, it was a prototype.

I can give you the point for that because you've given me what I was looking for: VW EA 47 prototype.
But it was by Ghia? I didn't know that!  There were quite a number of EA 47 prototypes but I thought they were all in-house designs.
Can you PM me some proof of the fact it was a Ghia job, then I can change the heading to include it?

In reality, I think your photo was a repost from auto puzzle.  Sometimes, when the car is intersting, I take the photo for my personal data base.  I find this VW and I have VW EA 47-12 prototype by Ghia (1954), but I have no more details.  I can't tell you when this car has posted before because I just take the photo and the name.

Wendax is right, this is not the same EA 47 prototype as my other puzzle and is not a repost.
So you seem to have solved the puzzle without getting the right car!
I believe there were about 15 EA 47 prototypes and this is just one of them, as was the other puzzle, but you've got your point because you got its name right!
