I think those Volkswagen's front lights are very strange on a pre-war Lancia....but perhaps are one of the best parts in the body of this barchetta.

I don't know how authentic any parts of the Lancia are, but despite similar looks those are not VW headlights:

This car was a rebody of a rebody. An Aprilia cabriolet was rebodied as a streamlined saloon by Boneschi in 1937/38 and raced as such in 1946/47 before being bodied again by Tenconi in 1948.

The saloon was a puzzle https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2012-41/solved-neh-2229-boneschi-lancia-aprilia-coupe-aerodinamica-1937/msg239209/#msg239209
