Well in January I turned 33... so I'm a bit younger than the 356s. Used to have a 57 Coupe as a mainly daily driver, miss that car terribly, should have never sold it.. looking for a B as a quasi-daily (Dont live in FL anymore but April-October I can live with).

During. Just squeeking in on September 3 1965. Exactly 90 years after Ferdinand Porsche. About 6 years after my 59 A coupe (108894). Anyone have a later A coupe on the road?

The next August 23, I'll be a 39 years old guy. I was born in 1969, after the 356 era.

But the 356 bug struck me in 1993, when I was 24 8)
And strucked also my son, in 1999 when he was 2 yrs old!!!!!

Thank you Herr Porsche

Mark,
At one time ??? Seriously though, the question isn't how much bier can they hold, but can you hold der stein mit der bier , or eventually, can you hold der bier im ein stein ? Gotta love that name, Einstein, and like his magnum opus theory, the aforementioned questions are well, relative.

1942 (It was a very good year).

My first 356 was a 1960S cab I bought in 65 for $2,500.

As I've mentioned in other threads, I've owned 2 356's: a '63 Sunroof Coupe and a '57 Speedster several (30) years ago. Following the forum to keep informed.

Born in 1962.

I don't really have many pics of myself... if you wanted pictures of my dogs I'd be set, but me??? Anyway... here's a relatively recent one from last year's Motogiro d'Italia.

Nothing with a 356 since I don't actually own one... However, pieces of various 356 engines are in my basement awaiting reassembly and installation into this:

A 1960 Ghia my dad rebuilt back in the '80s. I inherited it about ten years ago. That pic was taken about 25 years ago but the car still looks pretty much the same... a little rougher around the edges I guess, but in general that's it...
