Description of this Maserati Plate
Maserati, in full Maserati SpA, former name Officine Alfieri Maserati SA, Italian automobile manufacturer known for its racing, sports and GT (Grand Touring) cars. It is a subsidiary of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV, based in Modena, Italy.
Officine Alfieri Maserati SA was founded in Bologna, Italy in December 1914 by the Alfieri brothers, Ettore and Ernesto Maserati. Spark plugs were the company's first major product, and during World War I Maserati manufactured the devices for aircraft engines. The Maserati emblem, inspired by the trident held by Neptune on a statue in Bologna's Piazza Maggiore, was designed in 1920 by Mario Maserati, a fourth brother who was not connected to the company. Alfieri Maserati drove racing cars for other manufacturers before settling down with his brothers to produce the first Maserati automobile, a racing car named Tipo 26 for the year of its debut. The most notable Maserati of the 1920s was the V4, a 16-cylinder racing car with a speed of 150 miles per hour in 1929.
Alfieri died in 1932, and a younger Maserati brother, Bindo, joined the company that year. Italian driver Tazio Nuvolari won races for Maserati in 1933 and 1934, driving the eight-cylinder 8CM model. In 1937, the surviving Maserati brothers sold the company to Modena industrialist Adolfo Orsi, but they remained with the company for about 10 years afterward. Orsi's influx of funds allowed the Maseratis to continue producing successful racing cars. American racer Wilbur Shaw drove a Maserati 8CTF, the "Boyle Special", to victory in the Indianapolis 500 in 1939 and 1940. During World War II, Maserati again focused on manufacturing spark plugs, but also manufactures batteries and electric delivery vehicles.
