A very rare car undoubtedly. From 1955 up to 1964 Porsche produced not more than 165 units of the 356 Carrera Cabriolet.
The 356 Carrera Cabriolet was a special niche car, racers used Coupes and Speedsters, and the strongest reason for this was that the Carrera Cabriolet was the most expensive 356 available at the period. All of them were delivered as GS models, some equipped with many GT accessories for better performance, as shown on some cars on this website, but none or very few of them were used on the racetracks. As always with Porsche - never say never - it is believed that one car was delivered as a GS/GT, but that is another story.
It is possible to say that from the 356 models the Carrera Cabriolet is one of the rarest models ever produced.
Our intention with this website is to register all known 356 Carrera Cabriolets. Pictures and/or history are welcome - please remember to include the VIN and engine numbers together with as much information as possible and we will be glad to include them on the website. All you have to do is to click on the registry button and post the pictures, films, sounds and history information from your special car or from any 356 Carrera Cabriolet that you know.
Note that by doing this you are helping us to build an important database dedicated exclusively to this rare car, the 356 Carrera Cabriolet.
