And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
A twin of the 356 on the right is being auctioned this week. Five days left and the current high bid is already $125K. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-porsche-356c-carrera-2-coupe/
My guess is that the one on the right is older, perhaps a '53-'55 Pre-A model, similar to this one: https://www.stuttcars.com/porsche-356-1500-super-pre-a-1953-1955/ Or perhaps this one: https://www.stuttcars.com/porsche-356-1500-pre-a-1952-1955/
After some additional research, and based on the bumpers on the photo of the green356 above, I'm going with a 1950 – 1954 Porsche 356/1100 “Pre-A” as illustrated here: https://www.stuttcars.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/1950_Porsche_356SplitWindowCoup1.jpeg
I had a Pre-A 54 with distinctive folds in the center of the windshield and sides of the windshield. This looks like it might be a split front widow 52-53? Looks like it has the correct 16 inch tires.
Mine would go 109 miles per hour with a 59 Super engine with big bore kit. The gas gauge was a wooden stick. I used the odometer as a gas gauge. Tom
Mummm, I think I could look past the color.
ReplyDeleteThe one on the right may be a 1960's edition. NICE!!!
ReplyDeleteThe divided windscreen puts that in the mid(?) 50’s. Rare, and expensive beauties.
DeleteVery, very nice.

ReplyDeleteHis old and hers new I am guessing
ReplyDeletehow many generations between the two? Distict variations on the 912-911 simply confuse me...nothing new BUT...
ReplyDeleteboth of them are "earning" the vehicles from each others antics
