Porsches 356 SC: to preserve or improve?

Porsche’s 356 swan song proves to be a perfect starting point

In discussions about vintage Porsches, the iconic 356 always comes to light as the cornerstone of air-cooled Porsches. Respected for its simple but effective design over a decade-long production span, its balance and agility redefined small displacement sports cars of the 1950s through 1965. Offering accommodation for two passengers and extra space for kids in the rear, the 356 was fun and functional. Today, its large fan base and robust values further underscore its allure. Among the 356 Pre-A, A, B and C model generations, the 356 SC stands out as the most engaging driving experience. With disc brakes and more power than before, the SC is the most modern of all 356s.
