I'm pretty sure its a Maserati... late 50's, and probably a 300 model.

You shouldn't be too sure for it isn't a Maserati at all!  :-[
Most of the cars posted on Autopuzzles.com are little more obscure that it seems at the first look.
You hardly will find simple Maseratis, Ferraris etc. on that board which haven't at least something special!  ;)

Does it date from the 1950's or is it a more modern "retro" car?

I'm not at home, but as far as I remember it's built in the fifties or sixties. It's definetely no retro car!

Those side vents look Vignale-like. Any luck here?

No luck, sorry. There's a (far) Italian connection, but imperceptible.

Ockelbo? Later known as a Pagano?  Swedish and usually based on Volvo running gear. Said to have used Ferrari Mondial body to make moulds from!
