    Hmm - the one named after a certain wind blowing through Southern France and into the Mediterranean...? No, but the design certainly looks inspired by that Pietro Frua masterpiece. This car has more modest underpinnings though.

    Not an Opel GT, but the headlamps look similar.

    Yes! The Fiat 125 based Samantha by Vignale. About 100 were made in the late 1960s, early 1970s.

    They're not though, they're like a Porsche 928... lens still visible when they are 'retracted'.
    It's a v. nice looking car.

    Based on its similarity to the Lotus Esprit, is it a Giugiaro / ItalDesign creation?

    Certainly a very interesting rip-off! Polski Fiat 1100 Coupé - Wikiwand

    How many were made - anybody knows?

    You are not alone on that, even though I find it rather interesting from several angles

    My mother in law was stylin' back during the late 50's in a black convertible. Can anyone identify it by its door handle trim plate?

    It's a Sutone door handle guard I think. Were these standard fit as well as aftermarket?

    I've seen similar on Plymouth Special Deluxe Convertibles from the '50s.
