September 9th, 1934: Benoit Falchetto, perhaps a better driver than many realized, came home first in the Grand Prix de L’UMF held on the famous banked circuit of Montlhéry, fifteen miles outside of Paris. He was driving Maserati 8CM 3015, the subject of our recent book review. On Apri 20-22, Maserati 3015 in the hands of owner Kurt Hasler, returned again to the famous French banked circuit to participate in the Montlhéry Vintage Revival.

Review by Pete Vack
The story of Maserati 3015 is not the first Single Chassis Book (SCB) we’ve read, but it competes well with Mark Sonnery’s Ferrari Breadvan for being the best, at least within the narrow realm of our focus and experience. Two others have recently come to our attention; the Kelly Vignale Corvette, which we reviewed earlier, and Lancia Dagrada, which we have yet to review. Denis Jenkinson probably got the whole ball rolling in 1987 when he wrote Maserati 3011, the story of the Whitney Straight 8CM. Therefore, Maserati 3015 is the second book published (to our knowledge) about a specific Maserati 8CM chassis. [Read more…] about Maserati 8CM 3015: Review and Special Offer!
