Thanks, Eric. You don't see any radio on there?

And, someone else needs to verify the third option on the list. I do not speak enough German. I think tinted windshield.

No, Jules. It went out to Seattle (where it was renovated at Rillo Restoration Kent, WA in 2003-2004) before it returned to Dallas.

I'm sure it's a beautiful car. Kerstan Rillos does great work and knows 356's. It came from the factory with light ivory paint and a red leatherette interior. It also had Continental tires. I've never understood why they listed the brand of tire on the Kardex. I can't imagine Porsche putting a lousy tire on any of their cars.

Not having bought a new Porsche recently what do they put on new cars? Now that they're a high volume manufacturer, Porsche probably just puts out an RFP and goes with the lowest cost tire. They delivered 246,000 cars in 2017. That's a long way from 75,000 356's from 1948-65.

Kardex item on a '61 coupe. UKW-entst. Scheibenwisher

Special wipers?

Thanks for any help,
