Almost a mystery car thead but I'm sure some will know what it is. This one looks different to the others I've found.

It's an Alpine A108 derived Willys Interlagos (that's Willys as in the US Jeep manufacturer) built by their Brazilian arm, Willys Overland do Brazil. They also manufactured the Dauphine. This one above in the intital post appears to be a prototype for the Interlagos II:

Perhaps the front end facelift was so it would look more like the Willy Capeta?
