Interesting.  I assume you mean the Elisabeth prototypes?
Just to remind you of what is needed for the point for solving this puzzle:

No point will be awarded for the correct identification of the car, but a point will be awarded to the person who posts a picture of the actual car:

No, the P1800 was by Frua whilst they were part of Ghia and it doesn't look much like the puzzle drawing.
I would say the puzzle is by Vignale as you can see all their trademark features llike the recessed tail-lights, in vogue with Vignale at the time, but whilst there are a number of Vignale prototypes that resemble the drawing I haven't found any that are the same.
The Vignale Volvo Elisabeths looked like this, but neither are the same as the puzzle drawing:
