The Porsche 356 holds a special place amongst the ranks of past automobiles. As digit of the first vehicles to wear the Porsche badge after World War II, this car has candid ties to the model that would forever define the German maker of fine sportscars. That, of course, is the iconic 911.
Collectors, take note: digit of two early 356 prototypes is now up for sale, located in New York. We wonder, would that make this a 355? No, probably not. Looking over pictures of the car, it's clear to see the shape that would eventually invoke into the classic 356 as well as the expected air-cooled powerplant sitting aft of the cockpit and dynamical the rear wheels.
Notable features that didn't attain it to the creation car include the face frame that directs cooling air to the rear-mounted engine and the nous lamps that are sunk into the bodywork on either side. No price is traded on this particular sale, but we certainly wouldn't expect it to be sold without a large sum of money changing hands.
