    This is my mom’s dad and I believe her brother’s family. They haven’t kept up for 30/35 years so asking them isn’t a possibility.

    Photo is grouped with others from 1972-ish from a trip in Southern California / Catalina Island. Looks kinda like a Jolly but appears the rear is different. I am wondering if this is just a golf cart.

    Fiat 600 Jolly. Saw one of these sell on BAT for like $90K a year or so ago and thought WTF? for that POS? They are cute. I would prefer a Mini Moke though.

    Yup. Totally agree. C pillar looks right, only other car that comes close would be a 69 Firebird.

    Too small for an NA contraption. Except for the hood scoop abomination, it looks sort of like that pretty 67 Nissan Silvia 1600 Coupe, but anyway.
    The Hof seems to have stolen some E3 Bavaria shark in that front fender/headlight/grille combo from that angle but this is a Fiat Fissore concoction from the late 50s, imho. I recognize that wheel design. ​

    Never seen that one before... Looks very modern for a 1961 model.

    This car is an OSCA 1600 one-off coached by Michelotti and not by Fissore, see the badge on the side. It was the second car introduced to a motor show with the Michelotti's badge on it. Completely restored, it was introduced by Peter Boyle at Pebble Beach last year.

    Oooooh, Superleggera! That’s the little Humber or Rootes coupe made by Touring. Early or mid sixties. Not past ‘65. Fender scoops fanciful, maybe inventive but front fins? Surprised it received production approval without a thorough pruning. ;)
