Oh I know this one! That's an Iso Rivolta coupe. One of the classic Italian Grand Touring cars with a Chevy 327. Design by Giugiaro while he was at Bertone. Mid-60's.

That puppy is a beauty. Look at the lines and proportions. 1950, imagine. The side glass curve and how tight it is to the body. Hand-built by coachbuilders Touring.
This is when Alfa was trying to emerge from WWII, and still building big bad grand touring cars like they used to. And ex-employee Ferrari had just emerged (1947) doing essentially the same thing, but with V12s. In that economy there were only so many high rollers to buy these cars, and something had to give. By then already there are no more 8C engines, all 6C. Alfa changed to smaller, affordable sportscars and sedans that fit the post-war Italian economy. By the early to mid-50's they were building sporty small 1300 and 1600 Giulietta sedans and coupes, with a Spider soon to follow.
