It might be true if there are automotive enthusiasts who argue that the cars created in the 1950s and 1960s are a high-level achievement from a work of art in the form of motorized vehicles, especially cars. Due to almost all the process of making a car at that time was done manually.

As a result, today We could be seen there were plenty of beautiful and exotic car models created of the magical hand touches of automotive designers in the era which not only has beauty but is very sturdy, powerful when driven on a racing track. This then inspires vehicle designers today to design more powerful vehicles in accordance with the demands of the times.

And one of them is the Maserati A6GC/53 which began to be seen by the public in 1954. As quoted of supercars.net, the A6GCS chassis was a derivative of the A6 Sportscar that was powered by a short-stroke, double ignition, inline-6 that was one of the last units designed by the Maserati brothers.
These beautiful car series were originally built to compete in the World Sportscar Championship. The Maserati A6GCS/53 models built-in 1953 to 1955 and were powered by a 170 bhp engine. The initial model was made in a spider version designed by Gioacchino Colombo then refined by Medardo Fantuzzi and Celestino Fiandri. A total of fifty-two cars were made at that time.
Then Pininfarina made four additional Berlinetta models and one spider designed by Aldo Brovarone. The Pininfarina A6GCS Berlinetta models commissioned by the owner of a Maserati auto dealer in Rome named Guglielmo Dei who previously has acquired six A6GCS chassis. And Vignale, another Italian coachbuilder company, made the spider model.
The making of the four A6GCS Berlinetta models by Pininfarina was protested by Enzo Ferrari, due to at that time the brand was in a restricting contract with Ferrari, so Maserati could not sell directly the models. And this is considered by Ferrari inapposite the agreement signed in the contract. And this reason why the model is becoming the last Maserati made by Pininfarina for the next five decades.

And 4 copies of the Pininfarina's Maserati A6 GCS uses a 2.0-liter six-cylinder naturally-aspirated DOHC engine could be spewed power of 170 hp at 7,300 rpm and torque of 194 Nm at 5,600 rpm coupled with 4-speed manual transmission gearbox. This allows the Maserati A6 GCS to accelerate up to the top speed of 235 kph.
So after this car was completed and then jumped into the "Mille Miglia" race in 1953, which is known for frequent heavy storms and heavy rain when the race was in progress. Well, it seems in accordance with the initial purpose to build a racing car that can withstand bad weather. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | MASERATI | CONCEPTCARZ.COM | SUPERCARS.NET | WIKIPEDIA | NEWATLAS | CARFOLIO]
