Story by Graham Gauld
In my last column I talked about the first Maseratis to visit Indianapolis; but how about the last one?
Yes, it puzzled me too so I started to go through the records. I will not bore you with the various Grand Prix Maseratis from the pre-WWII era that came, saw, but did not quite conquer the Indianapolis 500 but I can tell you many of those cars stayed in action long into the 1950s with different owners and sponsors.
