1954 Maserati A6GCS

Guglielmo Dei was the Maserati distributor in Rome. He also operated the Centro Sud racing school. Guglielmo was known for having many special cars built for his Rome distributorship.

He ordered four of Maserati’s successful A6GCS racing chassis. The four were sent to Pininfarina for them to design and build four Competition Berlinettas.

Pininfarina crafted this true race- bred Berlinetta. Some of its more interesting design features are its canted elliptical grille opening and the concave grille bars. It has “Frenched” style headlight treatment that Pininfarina was known for in their designs for competition cars based in Maranello.

This Berlinetta example, 2060, was the fourth car built in the series. All four cars had styling differences. The first in the series was 2056, completed in December 18, 1953, and 2057 was the second. The 2059 was the third car built and was the 1954 Paris Show Car. It is believed that this car, 2060, was the 1955 Paris Show Car.
