Could this be the first ever 356 Outlaw, photographed well ahead of the previously thought beginnings of the Porsche Outlaw movement? Perhaps Ferry Porsche was indeed well ahead of his time. Before all manner of emails come my way correctly answering the question, you’re right, it’s impossible! For starters, the C Coupe was built 17 [...]
Hollywood movie directors rarely need an excuse to factor a couple of eye-catching supercars into a storyline and all types of Porsches have been used in all types of film down the years. The films themselves may not always do so well at the box office, but the Porsches nevertheless stand out. Here, we look [...]
Yesterday I posted about the Porsche Day at the Allure of the Automobile in Portland. While each week has brought some amazing cars to be viewed, there is always one or two extra special cars, usually early models with some serious history backing up their uniqueness. This week was no different with what is thought [...]
Today was one heck of a great day in Portland. Not only was the sun shining, but over 70 Porsches showed up for the Allure of the Automobile’s Porsche Day. I’ve only been to about half of the Saturday showcase events each featuring different models, and this was the biggest turnout from the ones I’ve [...]
I love pure, unadulterated, completely original Porsche 356 cars. They’re the essence of Porsche and represent such an important part in Porsche history. That said, I have a confession to make that likely will not come as a surprise to anyone who’s read PorschePerfect for any length of time. I’m quickly getting to a point [...]

I did a little writeup on it near the end of 2009 (Porsche Outlaw 356 Project). Shane finally completed his car and literally his first time even seeing the [...]
It’s been a few months since we’ve gotten an update from James on the 1957 Porsche 356 Cabriolet his shop has been working on. He just sent in a short one and it sounds like this may be it for a while. Thanks again James for letting us follow along on this project! From James… [...]
I came across a couple of videos showing the assembly of a Porsche 356 by factory workers. Turns out they’re shorter versions of the videos I posted up last year here: Porsche 356 Factory Footage. There’s 5 videos there totaling about 40 minutes. If you suffer from a lack of time, ADD, or just don’t [...]
Porsche announced a couple of weeks ago the winner of it’s 60th Anniversary Celebration search for the oldest Porsche in America. Based on the press release, it looks like they had a significant number of submissions. Pretty amazing. Here are a couple they highlighted along with a few details about each: 1952 356 Cabriolet This [...]
This is Part 2 of the update we started with yesterday’s post. From James… Here the new fender didn’t quite reach so a new end was made. Also the edge is rolled over for a good door gap.
