Car Tales: 4 Doors, The Maserati Quattroporte

The Maserati Quattroporte is a name that is synonymous with Italian style, luxury and performance. The elegant 4 door saloon, known as the Tipo 107, was first introduced in 1963 at the Turin Motor Show. It was a large saloon powered by a V8 engine – both such elements were firsts for a series production Maserati automobile.
The interior of the Maserati Quattroporte was noted for its use of high-end materials such as leather upholstery and adjustable seats. Other amenities included features such as briar wood trim, retractable veneered tables, analogue clocks and in some models, a miniature bar in the rear compartment. The chassis of the Maserati Quattroporte was primarily defined by a sloped and angular appearance; particularly notable is the configuration of the rear windows.
The Series I Quattroporte was designed by Pietro Frua. Born in 1913 in Turin, the center of coachbuilding in northern Italy, Frua became one of the leading coachbuilders and car designers during the 1950s and 1960s. Pietro Frua’s father, Carlo Frua, was a Fiat employee, and after finishing school his son enjoyed further education as a draftsman at the Scuola Allievi Fiat, where he had his apprenticeship.

At the very young age of 22, Pietro Frua became Director of Styling at the Stabilimenti Farina, already a leading Turin coachbuilder employing several hundred people. While at Farina he is believed to have influenced early designs of the iconic Vespa scooter.

Clearly possessed of business acumen as well as design talent, in 1944, a few months before the end of World War 2, Pierre Frua purchased a bombed-out factory, hired 15 workers and equipped himself to design and build cars.
His first known car is a 1946 Fiat 1100C Spyder. But one of his first other clients was Maserati who contracted Frua for the styling of their new 2-liter, 6-cylinder sports car, the A6G. From 1950 to 1957, Frua built 19 Spyders and seven coupes in three different design series – including some on the A6 GCS racing chassis.
In 1957, Frua sold his small coachbuilding company to Carrozzeria Ghia in Turin, and Ghia director Luigi Segre appointed him head of Ghia Design.
In this short period, Frua was responsible for the successful Renault Floride, which had well-deserved commercial success (about 117,000 were sold in ten years). A disagreement between Segre and Frua over the car’s design provenance led to Frua leaving Ghia to once again start his own design studio.

During this time, and under Pietro Frua’s auspices, Pelle Petterson designed the fabulous and beautiful Volvo P1800.
In the 1960s Pietro Frua was among the most prominent car designers in Italy. The ‘Frua line’ was synonymous with the good taste of a single man. He followed each car’s realization to the last detail of fully functional one-offs and prototypes, often driving them to their presentation at motor shows in Europe.
