OSCA, founded in 1947, stands for Officine Specializzare Costrizone Automoibli or 'specialist workshop for building motor cars' for short. Even shorter, OSCA, or Osca. MT4 stands for Maserati Tipo 4 cilindri and was the Maserati brothers' first Osca design. Fiat derived crankcase, alloy head, and 1092cc, the 71 horsepower motor was a gem, the surrounding chassis and bodywork a beauty. By 1954 the engine was out to 1453cc and 108 horsepower. OSCA was sold in 1967 to MV Agusta.

This car was the Road & Track August 1955 test car, racing in period all over California as well as in Venezuela and Hawaii. It came back to the first Monterey Historics in 1974, Pebble Beach the same year to win the Race Car Class award, and ever thereafter, more. It has been an entry in many retrospectives in the U.S. and Europe since.

This car was bodied by Morelli of Ferrara.
