Not an Auto Union 1000 Sp Coupé, is it?  |

Almost: a 1963+ Fissore Coupe, based on the 1000 Sp, and built in Argentina. |

Side trim seems to match /vehicle_433977-Auto-Union-DKW-Fissore-1964.html but according this page http://webspace.webring.com/people/hc/cochesargentinos/AutoUnion.htm the Fissore Cupé built in Argentina began in 1963 and the movie was 1st released on March 15 1962. |

But it IS one. No standard 1000 SP. |

Argentinian cars in Italy... ? I don't think anything from RA came to I before the Fiat 147... But Fissore must have made more cars with (almost) the same design .gif ":)") |

147?  i've noticed some 128 exported to Italy (in orange and yellow, i think). But none argentinian 147.You have or know any info about this? And yes, it's identical to the Fissore. |

There are some references that the Argentinian Fissore was also manufactured under licence in Spain, which seems a more likely explanation, but very little useful detail. But vilero's comment that the film date is too early is a problem we have to solve. |

I wonder if Carrozzeria Fissore had assembled some pre-production cars at their premises in Savigliano? Then coming across one in Rome before the date of the official launch wouldn’t have been impossible... |

Wiki was about as good as it gets - full quote to show it refers to Argentine not German SP version - "Fissore and Auto Union: In Argentina the 1000 was manufactured under license by IASFe (Industrias Automotriz de Santa Fe) between 1960 and 1970, the lineup consisted of the 2 and 4-door sedan, the 3-door Universal estate (station wagon), and Carrozzeria Fissore drew the Coupé and Spyder "1000 SE" on the basis of German "1000 Sp", but this time more elegant and it departed from the visual appearance of the Ford Thunderbird, the "Fissore Coupé" stood out with one piece front bumpers and longer wrap around bumpers in back, an alternate roof line, side louvers in the front fenders between the front wheel cut outs and doors ornated with chrome strips and an elegantly appointed interior, limited numbers of the coupé where built and are highly sought out by collectors. Licensed productions of the Coupés and Spyder where also assembled in Spain." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_Union_1000 . |
