Captain of Industry – 1956 Maserati A6G/54 Allemano

It is interesting to note that the two most iconic constructors of Italian road-going sports cars—Ferrari and Maserati—only grudgingly began offering Grand Touring cars in the 1950s. For founders Enzo Ferrari and the Maserati brothers, racing was their focus and their passion. Yet, in a post-war world screaming for sports cars, both companies eventually had to embrace the reality that they needed to sell GT cars in order to have the money to develop exceptional racecars. For Ferrari, this transition came a little earlier. For Maserati, it wouldn’t be until 1954 that it would offer a true road-going GT.
