More About the Author
Product Description
Synopsis
The 356 was, in 1950, Porsche's first production car, based on a Volkswagen Beetle Special designed by Ferdinand Porsche's son Ferry. By the time the 356C model went out of production in 1965, 80,000 356s had been built, testifying to the cars' attractions. In the intervening years many distinct versions were made, and many hundreds of production, specification and equipment changes took place. With the aid of factory records, this book provides evidence of what constitutes an authentic Porsche 356.

The basics of the 356 Porsche,
By A Customer
This review is from: Original Porsche 356: The Restorer's Guide to All Coupe, Cabriolet, Roadster and Speedster Models 1950-1965 (Henry Bradshaw Society) (Hardcover)
This is a good basic volume for the first-time or prospective 356 owner. Filled with many color photos and just the right amount of charts, it explains the differences in years and models. It doesn't give enough detail to be the basis of a restoration, but it does makes a good read. A good supplement for any Porsche library.

Great photos of a classic!,
By F. Dowdle - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Original Porsche 356: The Restorer's Guide to All Coupe, Cabriolet, Roadster and Speedster Models 1950-1965 (Henry Bradshaw Society) (Hardcover)
This book has very nice pictures of the 356. There are, however, few of the US specification Porsche. The book, being a British publication, has a lot of photos of cars produced for the UK market. There are some really beautiful cars to drool over in here!

The book to own and to read for the real 356-fanatic,
By A.E.J. Godschalk - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Original Porsche 356: The Restorer's Guide to All Coupe, Cabriolet, Roadster and Speedster Models 1950-1965 (Henry Bradshaw Society) (Hardcover)
112 pages and lots of very nice photographs (about 200), all in colour. The text is nicely wrapped around the photographs. The photographs are all especially made for this book, so they are all new and unpublished before.The book forms an attractive and detailed guide to the Porsche 356 and the illustrations, besides being very nice, provide a good and complete reference source. It's the book to own when you like the classic lines of the Porsche 356. |
