Its a 3500 GT with coachwork by BONESCHI. They made 2 cars in this version: chassis #2500 and #2724. The car shown in your photo is #2500 that was later sold to Signore Roberto Petrassi in Italy and the latter was purchased by the Bolivian Embassy in Naples. Both cars are lost today. Ciao! Walter
It's such a odd design, but I like it looks very Frua-ish. probably sitting in some embassy garage covered in dust.
Yep, definitely not a beautifull car - but a very distinctive one! I have various negatives of both Boneschi-3500 in my archive when finished by them. Its rather pitty that most Maserati prototype vanished. ph.: © Walter Bäumer Collection Ciao! Walter Image Unavailable, Please Login
Yep, chassis #2724. This car had a little higher greenhouse than the dark #2500! Lots of other different details on both cars. Ciao! Walter Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
It undoubtedly looks like the illigitmate child of some Monterosa and Frua relation. Very distinct car
I don't remember a nice car made by Boneschi after the war. These two awful examples confirm this. Ciao Andrea
Definitely not a handsome car - but it has some very nice details and is somewhat a very distinctive car with style. Perhaps one of them is still laying around in Latin America.... Ciao! Walter
Hello Walter, from my record s/n 101.2724 was sold to "Consolato di Bolivia" in Naples and after the car was sold to Mr. Giovanni Bruschi in Parma. You'll wonder where I found this news ?? The answer is simple: from my collection of old postcards with italian cars. Please seen..... After the usual check at italian ACI-PRA and the history is know !!!

Amazing story. Someone should contact the family of Mr. Bruschi in Parma and find out what they know about the car. Maybe old Mr. Bruschi is today a retired 90-something who still keeps his precious Maser stored away under a tarp in his garage, unknown even to his extended family...
