I know one car you were looking for was the Intermeccanica Murena 429 GT

looks like a Fiat logo on the front grill, and if so, they can build some ugly cars....

I don't think so ... the older FIAT logo looked much different

Yep! My old 70's 124 Sedans had this logo:

I'd guess that it's a mid-60s HINO.

Vents for rear engine?

Renault?

Looks like cooling fins on the rear fender- rear engine??????

Looked at the rear of a VW 411 station wagon- close but no cigar.

A Dutch variant of that???

Ken

interesting point

I just did a lot of research, but didn't came up with something matching
it seems that HINO's production was about 99% trucks ...

Gustl

definitely not Renault. Maybe a Skoda?

HINO was a Japanese manufacturer that built derivatives of the Renault Dauphine under license in the early-to-mid '60s. The rear vents were no doubt placed for engine cooling, as that was where it was located. The headlights and surrounding bezels are hallmark HINO items, and the badge looks like it belongs to HINO autos of that era as well. The only anomaly seems to be the "grille". Perhaps it was added for a/c equipment. HINO auto production ceased, I think, in the latter part of the '60s, becoming absorbed by Toyoda (TOYOTA).

As a footnote, I should cite my references: May and June issues of Road & Track(both photos and text). Also featured in classifieds, a 1956 Porsche 550 spyder for $1250, a 1964 289 Cobra for $5000 (has 4500 miles), a 1954 Ferrari Mille Miglia roadster for $3300, and a 1956 MB 300 SL Gullwing for $4500. The new PORSCHE ad is a friggin' 356! Oh, the date on the cover is............




1965

I thought Hino as well, but could not come up with anything...

I also thought it could be some Argentina version of something else as they seemed to get some semi weird models, but no luck...

Ferg

It looks like the squarish Datsun emblem from their earlier cars...

I just got the inof that it's definitly from Japan

I really wonder if that could ba a chinese brand

here's another pic of that car



I also got the information that it's from South America, but not from Argentina, Brazil or Venezuela

any idea

now the mystery is solved ...

another guy discovered the solution: it's a NSU P10 from Uruguay

see the link: http://www.geocities.com/autosuruguayos/nsuP10.html

I was looking last night at the NSU's but couldn't find anything that was real close.

does anybody know this japanese car ??

please help me find it

Found it
The Autozam AZ-1, known as the framecode PG6SA, is a mid-engined two-seat sports kei car, designed and manufactured by Suzuki but sold by Mazda under its Autozam brand. It debuted in October 1992 until production ceased in 1994, and was perhaps most noted for its gullwing doors. Power came from the same Suzuki-sourced 657 cc turbocharged engine used by the Mazda Carol that produced 64 PS (47 kW) at 6500 rpm and 85 N·m (63 ft·lbf) at 4000 rpm. Suzuki produced its own badge engineered version named the Suzuki Cara (PG6SS)
