With a Porsche Classic, you can be sure that people turn their heads

For sports car enthusiasts around the world, and in particular for Porsche fans all over the world consider the number 356 is particularly important. The reason lies in the chronicles of history, and a date, the live forever in the memory of all Porsche fans would. The year was 1948 and the date was the 8th June. This was the birth of the classic Porsche 356 sports car.
It weighed at a modest 650kg, had a 1 1 liter capacity center engine and had an immodest (then) 40 hp under the hood. Hard to find even one of these original Porsche classic cars, if you do about it, you will not be surprised to learn that they are invaluable. With all good reason, of course.
Besides being the first Porsche classic cars come to life, there have been a total of only 50 and they were all without exception hand built, and that’s saying much. These penultimate Porsche classic cars were the harbingers of the 356, we still see today.
Unfortunately for all concerned the 356 Porsche Classic car line was discontinued after 17 years in April 1965. At this time, just over 81,000 356 Porsche classic cars had the assembly line. In the beginning no more than 500 were expected to sell.
That was a fortunate mistake on the part of the “father” of Porsche Classic Car, Ferry Porsche, sold until March 1954 for ten times the initial estimated amount of 356 Porsche classic cars had been.
The disappearance of the line 365 was not the end of the Porsche name or the car. A new concept Porsche classic was set and the stuff from 1963 – two years before the 356 was – the classic Porsche 911 had become a reality.
This Porsche classic was the foundation for many a sports car to come and indeed still lives on today. On 15 June 1996 Porsche reached another milestone and the one millionth Porsche was delivered from the assembly line.
And when all is said and done, the Porsche classic still lives in the classic Porsche design and logo, and if you have a Porsche, you can be sure that people are turning classical head, the eye can see. Even living in the modern world of sports supercars a classic.
