I saw this car on TV the other day, but I am puzzled as to what it is. The context was a news show discussing the effects of COVID-19 canceling things, and this was video from the 2019 Las Vegas Concours d'Elegance car show.
It kinda looks like a Lancia Fulva, but it's different.
And ideas?
For comparison, a Lancia Fulvia.
I found this better picture of it from that show. I don't know what it is, but the name on the bonnet has 4 letters and appears to end in an 'A'.

I think it says Ghia, which would square both with the design and Italian looks.....so, a custom bodied something made by Ghia?
1959 OSCA model 18S
There are a few references on the web as a one-off prototype, although it seems to be incorrectly identified as a 1500 Coupe in some places.
Wow! I'm impressed. You guys dig in. Well done RR!
I don't think would be a stretch to say this design helped influence the later Fulvia.
Just found this background in the car:

Haha. You found the needle in the haystack!
I didn't want to show off about that article proving my belief about the OSCA influencing the design of the Lancia Fulvia.
