1964 Porsche 356C Cabriolet

Among Porsche enthusiasts there is a never ending debate about which model is the ultimate open 356. The Speedster has long been regarded as the most collectible and does enjoy a certain purity of line that is very attractive however the later Convertibles enjoy functional and mechanical updates that make the cars more pleasurable to use in the real world. Thus enthusiasts wishing to enjoy their cars will be attracted to the 356 C Cabrios whose low and rakish lines more functional top and wind up windows represent the perfect compromise between the unmistakably sporty lines first embodied by the Speedster and the more civilized refinement of the Cabriolet. Additionally thanks to the mechanical updates on all 356 C s (including more substantial oil pump more effective bumpers improved ZF gearboxes and shift linkages improved brakes and stronger connecting rods) the C Cabriolet is a superior driving car.
