Meistershaften Badges

[Terry Eleftheriou]

Can anyone shed some light on which 356 models had Meistershaften Badges mounted on the dash? As far as I can tell, the 55 and 57 models had these badges. I have a 1956 356A Speedster and wonder if these vehicles ever had Meistershaften Badges mounted at the factory.

My first, a 1958 coupe, #103614, had the 1957 Meisterschaften badge.

56' cars ha 55' badges, 57's had 56' and 58's had 57' badges

56' cars ha 55' badges, 57's had 56' and 58's had 57' badges

That's a good general rule. Though I just looked at an early '58; built in '57 T2 Speedster that had a 56 badge. This Speedster was one of the first 50 examples off the line.

There are grey areas when the factory used up existing stock of old parts.
