    Seats seven, but only three people get to fight for the bench seat.

    That’s -56 Fiat Multipla Marina by Pininfarina. That rear bench is wooden, btw

    Jari: Here is a better picture of it http://s3.amazonaws.com…

    And Rick, it looks like it seats more than 3

    Thanks. It was a snap after you identified the model.

    It looks like it’s a cut-down van, but a van a generation more modern than the production Multipla.
