130rapid ◊ 2016-01-22 09:17	Oh yes, much better than Caravelle Floride. She's Maserati 3500 GT Spider by Frua.
130rapid ◊ 2016-01-22 09:19	And 'Spider', not 'Spyder'.
DidierF ◊ 2016-01-22 16:54	Ouch! (Heureusement que vous ne voyez pas à quel point je suis devenu rouge de confusion.)

dsl ◊ 2016-01-22 17:51	For sale in Nevada, chassis AM101.268, listed as 1957 one-off, showing F plate 1959RM27. Other sources say 1959 - eg http://www.carstyling.ru/en/car/1959_maserati_3500_gt_spider/ , but this one says "As early as 1957, Frua produced a Spyder prototype on an early 3500GT chassis"
