Another lovely convertible tailor made for Spring:
The Maserati 3500 GT was first shown at the 1957 Geneva Salon. It was offered only as a “rolling chassis” designed by chief engineer Giulio Alfieri; various exotic coach builders came up with different body designs. It was a seminal vehicle for Maserati the company’s first successful attempt at the Gran Turismo market and series production.
Spyder’s body was made of steel, with aluminum doors, hood and trunk lid, as was the optional hardtop. Electric windows came as standard. Performance was suited to open-air motoring, with a top speed of 137 mph for the 3500GTI version.
