The Porsche 356 B Cabriolet Reutter
The Porsche 356 is the model that established the Porsche legend. Introduced in 1948, it was the first production automobile built by the company founded by Ferdinand Porsche and his son Ferry Porsche. Its combination of lightweight construction, reliability and outstanding driving dynamics quickly earned worldwide acclaim and laid the foundations for the future Porsche 911.
Produced between 1959 and 1963, the 356 B introduced several technical and stylistic improvements over earlier versions, including revised bodywork, enhanced suspension geometry and improved everyday usability.
The Cabriolet version built by the renowned coachbuilder Reutter is especially sought after. Reutter was Porsche's historic partner responsible for manufacturing the bodies of many early 356 models. Today, Reutter-built Cabriolets are regarded among the most elegant and collectible variants of the entire 356 range.
