looks like the Lancia Gamma.
it has that vintage Pininfarina look doesn't it?

I only recognize it because I was obsessed with the much more beautiful Stratos and Gamma Olgiata

I'll second the Lancia Gamma identification.

On the subject of odd cars, are you familiar with Bristol?

Bristol is a car manufacturer.

Has there EVER been a production vehicle manufactured in Rhode Island?

The Bristol! That's awesome - I was thinking that, too, because it's the strangest car to capture my imagination of late. However, I don't see room for the spare wheel under the fender. It may be on the other side, but the proportions don't look accomodating at this angle.
