Mystery Conversion
Late C3 chassis/interior with retro-style body panels.
An acquaintance of my wife has this car, inherited from her late husband, but doesn't know much about it. Anybody recognize the body mods? She's going to want to sell it...I'm just curious about its lineage.
Anyone know what it is?
Thanks!

It's a conversion kit which was available in the mid-80s. Offhand, I can't recall the name of the conversion. I was thinking Cabalista but couldn't get a hit in Google.

Mike was close, M A Fry nailed it.
I am also a life long kit car person....
The German looking Eagle logo gives it up...
This is a Philips Berlina. Less than 90 cars were ever built by the Philips Motor Car Company pompano beach fl,
I actually like these, paint it black red interior crome bat radiator ornament....
