Magnon Foundation, Riverside California.
From the 2024 Pebble Beach Concours d Elegance Field guide.
“Tree new versions of the Maserati A6 were showcased at the Paris Auto Salon in 1953: A Frua Spyder, a Vignale Coupe and a Pinina Farina Berlinetta. The latter design, as seen here, became the standard body for the A6. This Coupe (chassis AM2020) is one of nine Pinin Farina examples made. It was finished in Celeste Blue ( light Blue ) and fitted with a four speed manual transmission and triple carburetors. Following extensive testing be Maserati with a provisional body, the car was sold in an advertainment in Auto Illustrazione. The Maserati went to England and then to the US, where it was inducted into the Riverside International Automotive Museum in 2006.”
