Just to add a little more information about my puzzle car.
After the first Cisitalia had been presented to Ford for evaluation and had received only a luke-warm reception, nevertheless a second series of prototypes was commissioned, to be based on standard Ford chassis, and Vignale produced one coupe and one convertible, my puzzle car.
At the time, however, Ford were busy developing their own new Thunderbird and really weren't interested in offering the Cisitalia, so this convertible was given to Ed Sullivan for use as his personal car, which he drove for some years.
It was not specially well restored and was sold at Christie's auction some years ago.
So I'm not sure if my puzzle car is the same one as in the original puzzle, or if that was the very first prototype whilst mine is from the second series, but it might clarify why there are differences between the cars, as pointed out by D-Type. And my puzzle car is definitely not a Ford, as per the heading of this thread; it was described as a Cisitalia 808XF Convertible at the auction.
