Today’s photo of the day is from Jeff’s Porsche 356 ride page. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Riviera Blue on a 356. Looks awesome!

Hemmings Find of the Day – Porsche 356 Prototype
By Dan Strohl
Hemmings
Ah, we meet again, Mr. Waibel. I last saw your Porsche prototype in the Imperial Palace’s collection in April, for sale for $275,000, and it seems you found a buyer, because now Cooper Classics in New York has your prototype for sale on Hemmings.com for an undisclosed sum.

You have $175,000, Whatcha Gonna Buy?

Hemmings Motor News
I recently saw two interesting, but wildly different, cars on the Hemmings online classifieds for the same price. The first, a 1957 Ford Thunderbird, proves that blackwall tires instantly testosterone-ify any vehicle from the 1950s. Normally, Im not that much of a fan of first-gen T-birds; leave em to the lost-in-the-50s, sock-hop-and-James-Dean types. But the blackwall tires, the body color wheels and the McCulloch blower underhood all have me reconsidering early Birds. The second, a chopped, slammed and apparently stretched 1955 Porsche 356A, proves that, well, it doesnt really prove much. The ad doesnt state whether its a repro body or not; either way, some Porsche purist will have a heart attack at the sight of it.

I doubt I’m the only one afflicted with this. But there are a ton of numbers out there get me thinking about cars. Times and dates are biggies. For example, if I look at the digital clock and it’s 3:56 or 4:26, then I’m thinking about Porsches or Mopars. Anyone else have this problem?

356 Replica Makes it Easy to Be Green
By John
Editor
Sure, PGO Auto’s Cvennes Turbo-CNG looks pretty. It’s a 356 replica, how could it not? But it’s the fact that it runs on compressed natural gas which makes it so drop-dead sexy. The green machine puts out a respectable 155 horsepower from its turbo 1.6 liter four-banger, and with a presumably low curb weight, performance shouldn’t be an issue. The company hasn’t decided whether to actually bring the car into production yet, so reaction from the crowds at the Geneva Auto Show will probably determine its fate. Here’s hoping the brass likes what they hear. More at Winding Road.

Sweet Speedster

On display in the Stoddard booth, this 1956 Porsche 356 Speedster convertible has undergone a complete restoration by European Collectibles, including engine and trans rebuild, and body stripped to bare metal prior to repainting. The finished job looks amazing!
