    No Fox, not a Fiat and not a Ferrari. There are a few car makers left in this side of Europe.
    Bad news for you, it's 8PM here in Belgium, time for me to get some food with the family. I'll be back in 1 or 2 hours. I't let you some time to look at this beautiful woody.

    One nice detail: there is no B pilar on the wagon (but there was one in the saloon)

    Is this manufacturer still building cars? Do people still buy this brand today?

    OK, a designer went to Lancia from Alfa Romeo so that makes sense, KK. But...I don't see any cars by Lancia that even come close to the look of this wagon. Sedan or otherwise. So....if you are correct....how did you possibly guess Lancia? Grille....guy came over to Lancia from Alfa? I looked at Lancia but didn't see any cars that looked at all like this wagon. But, the grille and the guy makes it a good possibility I guess.

    I dunno - I just looked at it and 'Lancia' came to mind. Something about that long hood......so far just a guess.

    Well....I'm pretty sure you got it, KK. I think it's the Lancia Aurelia B-10, converted.

    :D That sounds terrible. Fox do the job painstakingly all day long while KK stays in bed. Than KK wake up and give a short and lonely but good answer. :clap:

    Well, we know now it's a Lancia, but what's the model (C'mon Fox there aren't many) ?

    Found it:

    "An early 1950's Lancia Aurelia B51 with a Giardinetta body by Carrozzeria Viotti. Forty-seven of these wagons were built on Lancia chassis created specifically for coachbuilders. Mechanical components were from the unibody Lancia B21."

    OK Fox it's an Aurelia. Engine is a V6, pretty nice engine in the early 50's, I don't need to know its power. But to make a winner between KK who found it was a Lancia and you who found it was an Aurelia, what about the coachbuilder name ...:dancing:

    Edit: too late, KK told us before I asked !

    Congrats KK (y) (and sorry for you Fox)

    I discovered this car recently and I think it's one of the most gorgeous shooting brake. I'll add some more pics and links.

    LOL....that was a tough one, Barto! I love Italian cars (except for the complex engines) but the Alfa seemed too small and from then on I was stumped. I should have done a deep search on the Lacia sooner.
    OK KK. That's not a stutter......you are UP, KK.:bouncy:
