1952 Siata - that is a good-looking car.

As long as we're studying tiny Italian cars, what the heck is this?? NOT a V8. TINY displacement.

Interesting -
“Fiat itself plotted its re-entry to the top ranks of Italian performance automobiles in 1950 with the introduction of the two-liter V-8 (dubbed "Otto Vu"), whose development was entrusted to Siata.”

^ The non-spoke wheels are very tall! I'm assuming those are stock because they're in more than one photo... i.e. different cars.

This also hammered for $946 once, but without all the zeros, what is it?

It had different names in different markets. In the UK I think it was the Toyota Crown for the 1970's. Here is a video on one:
