Love the detective threads. Just some opinions: This car has many interesting styling features. Note the elongated grille and the matching notched front bumper, later Boano used a notched front bumper on 1900's with stylized front grille and Touring had notched rear bumper on 2000 Spider. The stylized headlights have been mentioned, note the spears on top and side of fender radiating from the headlamp trim. It also appears there is also a trim strip extending toward the bonnet from the top apex of the grille.The fat trim on the lower body is very well matched to the bumpers providing a "wrap" arround the body. The side rear window appear to have swing-out latches, not fixed. The front windsheild is split, giving the illusion of being curved while using flat glass. The rear treatment has been likened to Exner/Lowey designs, may have been influenced. It appears the rear widow is also flatglass but the stylist has cleverly blended it in with the rest of the very curvacious auto. Is the rumble seat wind screen curved glass of flat? I think this was very expensive body, the driver is wearing a cap and tie, a hired driver? To me the hubcaps appear very similar to touring hubcaps on another 2500 I've seen on the BB. How do the doors open? I don't see the handles, but could what looks like the lock be a button with hook? The Lancia Apprilia Grand Gala 1948 to me has some of same quality in terms of "bells and whistles" although it could also be the quality of the photo. My guess is either Boano (Ghia) or Touring, I don't think it was done by commitee. By the way, Parco Sempione where the photo was taken, is in the center of Milan.
