    It does look like Figoni, or even Pourtout, but I can't be sure. The car in the background is a 1939 Graham, if that's any help.

    Thank you,

    That thing is weird looking. They should of stayed with the design they had back in 1998.

    Leave it to Manhattan Beach to have the weirdest cars. I see everything from Alfa GTVs, BMW/Mercedes fully wrapped factory test cars, Fisker Karma, Panoz, i8, Lotus Carlton, etc.

    Saw this in a Finnish vintage car magazine Mobilsti Senior #4 /2014 with no clear indication of make, model, etc.
    Any ideas ? Magazine staff was guessing a Stoewer.
    P.S. Whatever it is, I think it's, at least in this picture, one of the most beautiful open cars I've seen, both in pictures or in person and would like know & see more about it.

    Bump.
    Could it be some kind of "home built" one-off coachwork on some more "pedestrian" chassis ?

    Does anyone happen to know what this is? Sorry it's not a very good shot...saw this parked under a bank drive-thru next to a grocery store here in NC on Saturday and didn't have a chance to get very good shots without potentially holding up traffic in the plaza, as it was dark outside and I needed a long exposure. I know it's a 1967, but that's about all I know.
