Ferrari 166 Inter, # 0059-S
Vignale Body
First owner Franco Caimi
Second owner in USA installed a Chevrolet engine.

The licenseplate indicates Florida 1952, so it is pictured in the USA

I wasn't requiring a chassis number, so the point goes to you for identifying the car as a Vignale-bodied 166 Inter. However, this is most likely chassis 0065/S (with very different coachwork than 0059/S).

(I should add that there are some who believe this to be 195 Inter 0097/S, but that discussion is for another time and place.)
