What's this, who designed it, who built it, when - for 1 point?

That's right, so that's 3 questions out of the 4 answered.
So, who actually designed it?

Not him..

According to a 2009 puzzle the coupe version was his work :)
Seems Opel opened a design studio a la GM in '64 ,perhaps Erhard Schnell or Clare M MacKichan ex Chevrolet had a hand in this convertible version ?

Definitely not Michelotti's work and nothing to do with GM/Opel either.
He was connected with Vignale..

Yes Italian. He only really worked for Vignale I believe, although he spent time with others as an apprentice.
