About two years ago I had the pleasure of sitting down for dinner with Rod Emory. Over the mutli-course meal provided by our friends at Michelin, I had the opportunity to listen at length to a bona-fide Porsche legend. Rod turned out to be soft-spoken and unfailingly modest. His calm manner seemingly only built in furor when discussing clever …

Driving A Porsche 356A Is An Analogue Experience
Things are too digital these days. We're always connected to the world at large with a bombardment of news, information, status updates, and reactions. We've been trained by social media to constantly check and re-check our phones or computers for the latest. It's hard to escape from the world of connectivity, as many of us depend on the so-called …

In this new video from Petrolicious, a French father and son team show off their oddly beautiful 356A coupe. This car was a literal 'barn find', which they tracked down by following a leaking vehicle back to a tractor collector's farm. They managed to get the tractor man to sell off his old long-dormant Porsche, but he would only sell it in a …

It isn't really possible to find a car more significant to the history of the Porsche brand than the very first one to wear the Porsche name. 356 "No. 1" Roadster was first registered for road use in June of 1948, and heavily influenced the styling of the original run of Gmund 356s. Over the next seven decades, this Porsche was reshaped by the …

Jeff Zwart is not shy about flogging his 1953 Porsche 356. We've seen the car sliding through the snow with Jeff at the wheel, and now getting sideways and dirty. While nowhere near as swift as Jeff's 964 rally car, which he ran at Big Sky Ranch the same day, the 356 looks like an absolute riot on the loose gravel surface. The 356 is both more …

A 356 is a tiny car by modern standards. At 65.4" wide, a 356 is narrower even than a current Mitsubishi Mirage(65.6"). Most 356 variants are also shorter in terms of height than Project 944 GTS, and around 18" shorter in overall length than my 944. Stretching one to fit over a 987 Cayman then, is no mean feat. West Coast Customs managed to combine …

I know what this website is called, and I admit my bias in favor of Porsche's classic flat-four models. I love the 356. After Studebakers, these were the first classics to really capture my imagination. Seeing someone as jaded by high-horsepower monsters as Matt Farah getting his kicks in a 356 warms my heart. The owners of this blue 356A sent Matt …

Rod teamed up with Vintage Electric to create an electric bike with his signature custom touches and it's pretty cool. Read the original post or watch the video below if you want to know more. …

I have a soft spot for the 356. I used to own one, albeit a rusty project car. In fact, this is my old car, which now lives in Saudi Arabia. The first one I ever drove was also a black T6 B, which had been upgraded with disc brakes from a C, and converted professionally from a Karmann Notchback to full Cabriolet(actually, this car, which has since …
