    1956 Maserati A6G-54The Maserati A6G/54 evolved from the A6G shown at the Paris Motor Show in 1951. It had a 6-cylinder engine giving over 150 bhp. In all, 63 A6Gs were built over three years. This is a unique Zagato-bodied A6G/54 that started life as a 'regular' Zagato coupe in 1956. It was sent back to Zagato for a tune-up in 1957, and when Gianni Zagato took it out for a test drive, he crashed it, destroying most of the delicate body panels. Instead of rebuilding it to its original form, Zagato fitted a more modern style, similar to the proposed 3500 GT body. With help from historian Adolfo Orsi this unique car was recently restored to its unique 1957 configuration. It is one of just two Zagato-bodied Maseratis with a 'double bubble' roof.
