STORY

The Maserati 3500 GT was the company's first series-production grand tourer, built from 1957 to 1964. It used a 3.5-litre twin-cam straight-six derived from Maserati's racing engines, with bodywork chiefly by Touring (coupe) and Vignale (spyder). It became a commercial cornerstone that established Maserati as a road-car manufacturer.
