True that!
The Maserati 3500 was a 1961 model year, though it could have been out in 1960. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif

Yeppers, Maserati first used the "GTI" nomenclature circa 1960/1961, but VW was the first to use it on the large. |

I do feel bad that we Krauts stole that from them... that leaves Italy with only two other things original to them:
1) architectural FAIL (leaning tower of Pisa; Venice)
2) the art of knee-cap busting

I was going to list spaghetti, but I hear the Chinese are now attempting to claim that Marco Polo brought it back to Italy...
