    I am all out of ideas on this one. Could have been re bodied, I do like the car, looks very clean and uncluttered, unlike some of he other one off cars.
    Ciao,

    You show here 3 (!) different versions! The first 2 shots show the Allemano-prototipo and the 2nd shot shows a 3rd (!) Allemano-one off next to a standart 3500 Touring. PLease note the different greenhouse of the 3rd Allemano!

    Ciao!

    Walter, thank you for the information on the 3500/A's. By no means is this information going to be used on "my web site". Like you,.. I have shared all VIN information on my Maserati cars with you, as a member of the Maseati community.

    I have a great amount of respect for you and your passion for our cars,...any information that you share is greatly appreciated.

    I was just trying to locate the history on the 3500/A's and you have helped a great deal.

    Thank you.

    Boudewijn,
    as mentioned before - the 3500 GT with Allemano coachwork was converted in the very late 50s to Touring specs!

    And #002 is listed in your last post, now -and correctly- as a Touring 3500GT.

    Ciao!
    Walter

    I believe thats #008!
    Possibly repainted prior to its sale to the USA and with minor differences?
