Cabriolet, Roadster, oh what's the diff?

#1 Post by Richard Zarbo »

Nice illustrated article by Porsche.com below about Max Hoffman, Frank Lloyd Wright and Porsche.
Too bad this generation of writers can't identify the cars accurately though.

And the writer seems to think Lloyd is FLW's first name.

I think the author is using his last names: Lloyd Wright

Beautiful home and car. I faced a similar issue last night reading a GT Porsche article comparing a T5 356B and 356C owned by the same family. They noted the 356C benefited from “front disc brakes compared to drums on all four wheels for the B.” Or similar.

I seem to remember a couple other obvious mistakes as well. I’d understand in a non-Porsche pub but these are not.
