In the late autumn, in the middle of a three-day weekend with a clear, high sky.Sunday, November 23, 2014Under the perfect weather conditions,Maserati 3200GTownerShigeyuki NagayaHosted by Mr.Maserati 3200GT Touring, Gifu GujoThe event was held. The meeting place wasNagara River Service AreaMany of the participants this time were from the Chubu and Kansai regions, including Nagoya, Gifu, Fukui, Kyoto, Osaka, and Shiga. However, it seems that we were all connected to the organizer, Mr. Nagaya, by an unbreakable red thread (lol), so we were able to join in at the last minute, coming all the way from Hamamatsu!
Maserati 3200GTteeth,1998from2001It was a sports coupe produced until [date], and its design was handled by the same person who designed many of Maserati's famous cars, such as the Ghibli, Bora, and Merak.Giorgetto GiugiaroIt's in charge of the design. The body has beautiful, smooth curves, making it a highly luxurious car with feminine elements. This time, many white Bianco Maseratis participated, with four gathered together! It's magnificent!
This time, we had a lively and diverse group of participants, including owners of 3200GTs, Maserati Ghibli and Maserati Coupe owners, and Maserati owners who couldn't make it to the tour because their cars were in for repairs, participating in cars such as Ferrari 575M, BMW 6 Series, Alfa Romeo GTV, Fiat Coupe, and Multipla.
3200GTIts greatest feature is,boomerangThese distinctive LED taillights were given a nickname. When they first appeared, they were met with mixed reactions, but the designer Giugiaro initially proposed oval taillights."I want a strong personality!"It seems that this was created in response to strong demands from Maserati, which Giugiaro reluctantly agreed to. Giugiaro himself has publicly stated that he doesn't particularly like it, but ultimately, these taillights3200GTIt has become recognized as its most distinctive feature. My favorite part of my white mare is her rear end (lol).

Even though it was a Sunday, it was very quiet, and the location is fantastic, so I think it's the perfect place (a hidden gem) for car gatherings and commemorative photos! Everyone enjoyed taking photos as they pleased, and then everyone dispersed freely as evening approached♪
