In 1937 the brothers sold the surviving company's shares Orsi family, who later left the company headquarters in Modena.Two years later, one of its cars won the Indianapolis 500 fame.
Postwar, Maserati continued to flow along with the impressive victory racing with cars like the Tipo 60 and 61 "Birdcage" fame. The company did not start making street cars until the A6 coupe was born circa 1947 - '57. Only 138 cars produced in that long period, so most of its profits come from products other: spark plugs and car batteries.
