356 Pre-A

From the earliest, 100cc Gmünd beginnings, he overall shape of the 356 remained more or less set. In 1951, 300 and 1500cc engines with considerably more power were introduced. By late 1952 the divided windscreen was gone, eplaced by a V-shaped unit which fit into the same opening. In 1953, he 1300 S or "Super" was introduced, nd the 1100cc engine was dropped. In late 1954Max Hoffman, he sole US importer of Porsches, onvinced Porsche to build a stripped down roadster version with minimal equipment and a cut-down windscreen. Towards the end of the original 356's time (in 1955, hen the 356A was about to be introduced) Hoffman, anting a model name rather than just a number got the factory to use the name "Continental" which was applied mostly to cars sold in the United States. Ford, akers of theLincoln Continental, ued.[8]This name was used only in 1955 and today this one year version is especially valued. For 1956, he equivalent version was briefly sold as the "European".[8]Today all of the earliest Porsches are highly coveted by collectors and enthusiasts worldwide based on their design, eliability and sporting performance.
