Re: 356A 1957 Grey Mettalic
wow, impressive.
Looks like you have a pre A or early bug jack on your parts picture. Last year that was used was 1955. I do not believe that fits in the holding clamps up front in an A.

Re: 356A 1957 Grey Metallic
Please list as much "Kardex/Certificate of Authenticity" information as known so that your 356(s) may be registered in the now unofficial 356 registry. Needed are serial number and condition (driver, under restoration, restored, scrapped, project) as a minimum. PreA, original owner/family, limited production, original, 4-cam, unusual, non-US and scrapped cars especially sought. Information provided will go to a public database. It is desirable that we have your name, phone number, and/or e-mail address so that a person with a similar car can contact you. HOWEVER, IF YOU PREFER, I WILL NOT LIST SOME OR ALL OF YOUR DEMOGRAPHICS
