356 A Speedster: The Porsche with American origins
The 356 Speedster derives from the Porsche 356 presented in 1949 as a coupe and convertible with a 4-cylinder engine. In 1950, the Porsche importer in the USA, Max Hoffman, recommended the creation of a spider car, spartan, light and fast. The following year, the “America Roadster” was born, the progenitor of the 356 Speedster: a sales success, but an economic failure. It was therefore decided for a more spartan version derived from the 356 cabriolet. To lower costs, they opted for steel bodywork, removable acetate windows with fabric frames, a canvas top without internal lining and two simple light seats.
The 356 Speedster was presented in America in September 1954, debuted in Europe in the summer of 1955 and remained in production until 1958, when it was replaced by the 356 convertible D, a cross between the Speedster and the 356 cabriolet.
Here offered in "racing" versions with the racing version featuring specific details such as a roll bar, bumperless, leather straps for securing the "frunk" and Fuchs style rims as often seen in North American races in the later years.
