The 356 debuted in 1948 and was first updated in 1955, when renamed 356A in coupe and cabriolet. In late 1959, the 356B receives a redesigned front end, which already gives clues about the 911… From mid-1962, the rear-mounted engine can breathe through two air vents. Until the launch of the ultimate 356C in 1963, more than 30,000 Porsche 356Bs (coupes and convertibles) were produced.
