Gomselmash11 ◊ 2010-09-15 21:22	Is interesting, the case. Here, with IKA (Kaiser Argentina) happen with the IKA Brig. The body was in an Alfa Romeo and the engine was American. This is the car: http://www.cocheargentino.com.ar/b/bergantin.htm

electra225 ◊ 2010-09-16 09:40	No. it is an Alfa model. Between early 1962 and 1964 Alfa assembled R4, R8 and Dauphines (The latter since 1959).

They were almost all painted in very light colors. Only early exception was a medium red that was rather common. Base models had a medium grey though. If I remember correctly you couldn´t get them in dark colors until 1965 models, and for 1967 modelyear a medium blue was added. I´m fairly sure that this car is painted in that color, which would rule out Alfa assembly.
