The 6c3000 CM Zagato, which was owned by Bonnier, and later, was owned by Henry Wessells here in the US, was at Monterey this year, with a blue and yellow paint job.
I believe this car was rebodied in 1956 from a crashed coupe.

Another racing coupe, which was crashed, bodied by Boanao, crashed again, and bodied in the racing coupe style today, was also once owned by Henry Wessells. This is the car driven by Phil Hill.

I am not certain if only 1 or 2 cars were built with the Supercortemaggiore spider style coachwork, but I THINK only one., and it was NOT a rebodied coupe. The 6c3000 PR is an entirely different car, and was one of a kind.

I believe (without checking) that there were two versions of the 6c3000 CM superflow, but they were the same car (which started out as a racing coupe) The first version of the superflow had tail fins, and the second version looks kind of like a Duetto with a glass roof. I think Henry Wessells also owned this car at one time...
