Your date with destiny has arrived. And this time, you won’t need those roofies. So impress your friends with the exhibition of your mad automotive knowledge skills. Or, fire up Google Images if those skills are more sad than mad.
Click through the jump and see if you can guess the following- make, model, engine, and year-range. At least, once you get it, you’ll have something to talk about on your next blind date.
Here’s a car (that’s a clue, by the way) that you may or may not be familiar with. One thing’s for certain- if you showed up in this for your mystery date, it had better not be a double, despite this car’s looks.
The answer will be revealed later today should it not be divined here from this very revealing shot. Happy hunting!

I was thinking Lancia but you guys are correct. It looks like this one: <img src="http://www.speedace.info/automotive_directory/car_images/fiat_dino_coupe.jpg" style="width: 477px; height: 311px; border: 0" alt="imgTag" /> I can't find more specific information about the model with two headlights though. The engine could be either a 160 Hp 2000 cc Ferrari V6 engine or a 180 Hp 2400 V6, according to Bertone.
The mystery deepens – that coupe has the nose from the Pininfarina designed spider (aside from the single headlamps). The mass production Fiat Dino Coupes were designed by Bertone and were much more angular. Perhaps our mystery car is a prototype of some sort?
Yeah, I think it's a one-off.
Okay guys, before you roll too far down that hill, it's not a Dino.
Is that referring to the car model or the engine?
Yes.
Looks so familiar…
Reminds me of a cross btwn a Ghia and a Mawer Tipo 61 ‘Birdcage’…
That should read “Ghia 450 SS and a MaSer ‘Birdcage'”
Oh, also, I’m disappointed that a visual-dominant memory is termed as ‘sad’…
I end up here surfing the net goths! This post has a nice visibility on bing even if it wasn’t actually what i decided to search
