But yes, quite an art form really, you can see that the side trim and the tail end came from some American cars of the late 50s, it would be interesting to see if some one can identify the donor vehicle -- Last edit: 2014-02-05 17:39:25

Most likely a local body (even though I can't fully rule out UK/ IRE), but full-on classic Portuguese style, actually: Get a chassis, some hardware from 5-12 classic yank tanks and use your imagination. Playful and creative coachwork! Keith Richard knows who built it, but they clearly had seen a 1960 Chevrolet Impala before.
