But from the windshield back, it might have some Triumph GT6, with an Aston Martin roof.

Foggy knows it. It’s a Fiat Abarth 2400 Coupe with a straight six. Around 1960. Michelotti designed it, two coachbuilders made competing modifications. That’s Carlo Abarth in the pic, he came from Austria to Italy before the war. His company built cars, race cars, and a lot of go-fast parts for Fiats.
