I L TRIDENTE On-LineMNA throws Fantastic Celebration for Maserati at the Four Seasons in NYC
11/20/2002: The most extravagant Maserati media event in years was held at the Four Seasons restaurant here in New York on Wednesday night. Amidst a celebrity and supermodel filled audience, Maserati North America held court in one of the most prestigious of all New York restaurants—the Four Seasons—and TMC was there! We provided two club members' historic cars to take place in a fabulous 4-car display which included two new Maseratis, a Bologna Red Spyder and Nettuno Blue Coupe, and two historic Maseratis, a Frua-bodied 5000GT and a Tipo 60/61 Birdcage. Needless to say the Birdcage drew rave attention including close inspection by none other than Jean Todt (Ferrari Formula 1) and company chairman, Luca di Montezemolo. (All photos: sgPond)
