I didn’t get at first that there was no connection between the vehicles. It’s the synchronized swimming of snow removal.
Looks like a commercial vehicle conversion judging by the flat rear floor, you could imagine that layout being quite handy for morning bakery deliveries and the like. Given that using a Carrozzeria (or however you spell the fancypants Italian word for coachbuilder) after WW2 was still very cheap, you see lots of these one off type things based on fiats.
This would be a good floral delivery vehicle in a crowded city. Too bad my wife insists on using Grand Caravans for that purpose.

The Giardiniera was the wagon version of the 500, with the engine laid on its side so there could be a rear door possible. Perhaps this prototype proved that was necessary.
Not sure what Tesla’s excuse is?
I don’t know about the doors, but I still think the Tesla Model X looks like what the 3rd generation Pontiac Aztek would have been.
