Fiat
If by 'Brand' you mean the engine then it's an 1100TV; if you mean make of car as opposed to engine, I'll guess at Giannini

Sorry, neither nor!

'Brand' is the name of the company! 'Engine' means which company has produced the powerplant, respectively how much capacity and the number of cylinders it has.

Maybe it's a Ford Comete Monte Carlo, with 3.9 litre V8 Mistral engine?

It actually had indeed a V8 engine, but that's all!

Your're in the right country, but it neither has a Fiat engine nor it is a Cisitalia!

Obviously Italian, so is the engine from a Fiat 8V?
The car?  A  Bandini?

That view looks less like the Ford Comete Monte Carlo that Alecwolf suggested.
Still don't know

Okay, maybe I give it away now!
It's as far as I know the only car ever built by this company. After its presantation the brand disappeared. The coachwork was made by a very famous, but also defunct carrozzeria.

The bit strange thing is that my sources reveal an one-off , but easy to see — the cars seems to be slightly different. The point is: the second pic probably is airbrush-retouched.

Looks like the Italmeccanica prototype with Stabilimenti Farina body from 1950.

The car would be the Italmeccanica IT 160, with a Mercury engine.

No problemo, as they say in Milano (but why did you write above "the FIRST point is yours"...?)

I guess we both could use some lessons by anglo-american puzzlers, but I think you should have written "this is your FIRST point", then.

Obviousely!
Of course I'm not a native speaker, but believed there's no misunderstanding in that case.
Reading it again I'm not that sure anymore. :-\
Thanks for your advice, you're very accurate! Hope this is not mistakable.

I didn't know, speaking no italian at all, but "nessun problema, as they say in Milano" doesn't rime as good does it?
"No problemo" is no italian, just one of Homer Simpson's favorite locutions (in the french version at least).
