Porsche announced a couple of weeks ago the winner of it’s 60th Anniversary Celebration search for the oldest Porsche in America. Based on the press release, it looks like they had a significant number of submissions. Pretty amazing. Here are a couple they highlighted along with a few details about each: 1952 356 Cabriolet This […]

This is Part 2 of the update we started with yesterday’s post. From James… Here the new fender didn’t quite reach so a new end was made. Also the edge is rolled over for a good door gap.

Porsche 356 Closer To A Comeback?
September 2, 2010 by

Porsche Number 1 – Where It All Began
August 26, 2010 by
I ran across this old press release and photos about Porsche No. 1 as it was headed to Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance a couple of years ago. This is great history lesson on the first Porsche ever build (and driven) way back in 1947/48. For those of you who don’t know the history of the […]
