Correction: that bike, belonging to BFisher, is what started THIS thread.

Celeste Puch
That's a sweet Bianchi. I assume you're over missing out on that Puch back in the day
. Odd they would use celeste paint on a Puch-branded frame. I do like the pearl white paint. There's a thread somewhere on C&V with photos of a recently-built NOS pearl-white Mistral that is in mint condition, gorgeous.

VeloSport in Berkeley was just across the SF Bay so they had access to the leftovers and crumbs... The bike had some Puch as well as Bianchi features and was more than likely assembled from whatever parts, even decals that were on hand at the end of the run...
