The dream 356C for the collector or Porsche enthusiast!
The 356 was created by Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche, son of
Ferdinand Porsche Senior, and was originally conceived as a small,
lightweight sports car that shared design characteristics of the
Porsche-designed Volkswagen Beetle that was developed prior to
WWII. Believed to have taken its name from being the three hundred
and fifty sixth Porsche design, the 356 was the first production
automobile to bear the Porsche name. Production began in 1948 with
the first cars being built with aluminum bodies constructed in
Austria; production eventually switched to Germany after Porsche
contracted Reutter Coachworks to build the 356 bodies. In 1951, the
356 took a class win at LeMans and thanks to the efforts of U.S.
importer Max Hoffman, the Porsche brand won over motoring
enthusiasts from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The third and
final generation 356C was introduced in 1964. Often considered the
fully evolved 356 by enthusiasts, the 356C featured upgraded
handling and the addition of 4-wheel disc brakes which ensured
adequate stopping power. 356 production would come to an end in
1965 to make way for the 900 series line that was also introduced
during 1964, but the legacy of the 356 lives on in the hearts of
motoring enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
The 1964 Porsche 356C Coupe by Karmann featured here is finished in
its stunning factory correct color combination of Slate Grey over a
beautiful red interior. This 356C is finished in highly desirable
