Yes, but neither Ghia nor Frua.
One who might not quite be categorised like the big names such as them or Pininfarina, but a very well-known one nevertheless - at least amongst AutoPuzzlers and the cognoscenti!

Ok, not an old established company. Ghia was founded in 1915 and Frua in 1946 so an Carrozerria founded after 1950 then ?

Giovanni Michelotti went solo in 1959 - can we blame him for this ?

Indeed we can!
It was built by his own Carrozzeria..
Locked for you now to see if you can identify it correctly.
