The styling is an important clue on this one. Wasn't easy but I got it eventually.

Uhhhhh? This is quite the challenge...

That sure is an unusual design. I'm not sure if I like or hate it.  The B-pillar hinged doors are neat.

To identify or to look at?

Ugly is only skin deep, it has a beautiful personality?

I just meant it was hard to find it... But...., I succeeded...

I think it's kind of cute in a dorky sort of way...

Perfect for a bit part in Cars 3.

Yes, you've captured what I was thinking but couldn't describe.

That 'pursed lips' or slightly fish-faced styling was a recurring Panhard theme on several models.

 Working on them can be kinda weird. It's like a car from another planet. It does does all the same things familiar cars do and works the same way as all internal-combustion-powered vehicles, but few of the parts look like what you'd really expect. Everything is just different.

I think this proves the "ugly is only skin deep" argument, this gorgeous 1951 Allemano Berlinetta, styled by Michelotti is built on the same cast alloy chassis.
