This is the latest edition -- with a completely revised text -- of a book that is often cited by Porsche enthusiasts, concours judges, and even the Porsche factory, as the definitive publication on authenticity for all Porsche 356 production models. Highly detailed black-and-white photography and illustrations show components of chassis, body, trim, luggage compartment, and interior, allowing the potential buyer, restorer, concours entrant, or enthusiast to determine the authenticity of any 356. The book also includes the most accurate 356 chassis-number list available, color listings, and a helpful spotter`s guide. And everything`s organized in a logical front-to-back, system-by-system style with a detailed index. Seven years of research and several new photographs and illustrations have gone into this updated edition.
