I’ll guess it’s a Fiat but I think Mickey is right.

Another, Unusual cooling system for a car. But the Italians had a way of doing things a little different than most.

DOH... Mickey posted the answer before I even saw this thread. Usually I don't know the cars when someone starts a thread like this!

Siata manufactured quite a lot of cars, believe it or not, some of them are quite appealing. Such as, the Siata 200CS

Well, you were partly right; it was based on the 850. I remember when it came out in the late '60s. At the time it was funky enough to snag a bit of a following. Not enough appeal, though, to make it successfully.

The 850 brings back memories. I remember going to the NY car show at the Coliseum and seeing the 850 for the first time.

It certainly wouldn't attract any girls I'd want to have around!

They'd have better tastes and know their way around a toolbox. Here's Mitsy (jokingly dubbed "Wrench Wench")

I took that C&D review to a guy who had one of those.
I walked up to him in his garage,& asked him "What kind of car is that?".
He started to tell me,& I handed him the article & said "Is it anything like this?".
Our local Plymouth/Fiat dealer had one of these in their shop,when
they were fairly new.I seem to remember that they were pulling the engine.
