Maserati 3500 GT Spyder

Information

Show car on the Maserati stand at the 30th Salon International de l'Auto Geneva, in March 1960.
One of the 9 pre-production prototypes. The sixth in chronological order. Each one differed from the other for minor or several details. Items that characterized this example were: the big Maserati trident symbol in the grille, surrounded by a thin round profile; the high front windshield ('high' not only compared to other prototypes, but above all to the final version of the series) with additional painted visible bodywork in the upper part; quarter windows; the air intake on the hood; the position, at the bottom after the door, of the Vignale plate; the additional lights under the headlights, instead of chrome-edged openings; absence of rostrums on the bumpers; low and thin chrome trim along the sides; grille side air vents, with aerodynamic continuations along the sides; upper front lights with 'thick' chrome ring; full rear light clusters with stepped side profile; the presence of windscreen wipers, missing in some prototypes.
