Hello to all the fans,
I want to know if the hardtop sunroof was proposed in 1959 for At2.
The factory did not give me a specific date.
Officially he arrived in 1961 in the catalog of options. Dr. Brett Johnson's very good book "A Guide to Restoring Authenticity" states on page 33 (1959 for 356 A)
the manufacture was at Porsche Germany or at Golde in the USA in 1959?
thank you very much this question fascinates me.
Julien

Julien,
My 1959 T2 coupe has an original sunroof, it is mentioned in the COA, showing the production date of 2/5/59. It also has the matching VIN # hand written on the underside of the roof.

Julien, do you mean a convertible car with a sunroof hardtop or do you mean a coupe with a sunroof?

Hi,
thanks for you interest Gary and Jules, yes it's all right for the convertible. it's very rare to find in manual version. When was the first made? 1959 or 1960?
how many manufactured?
thank you for all your answers.

hardtops with sunroofs are pretty rare, hardtops with electric sunroofs are even rarer. No clue how many were made, as far as i know, no documentation about 'options' exists. I do know for a fact that 2 fewer electric sunroof hardtops exist today as my dad and I cut 2 up in the 80s to craft them into coupes.

Looking at the christophorus of January 1959 page 28 seems to be the
delivery of several 356. To the right of this photo there is a hardtop
convertible with a sunroof.
what do you think of this information?
