Easy to explain - it's Italian. They used to build their cars in that period for people that shape as well.
The Italians have the longest arms to height ratio in europe, but since the advent of the EEC and its directive on seating comfort in cars they have had to build cars to fit 'euroman' and 'eurowoman'. This unfortunately renders them virtually undrivable to the average Italian, thus explaining the poor driving standards there and
every car having some sort of body damage. Indeed Fiat dealers in Italy even offer the option to deliver new cars with pre-fitted panel damage.*
*I may have made that paragraph up.
