The Porsche Type 356 was born in a converted sawmill in the mountains of Gmund, Austria. Within a short time, Porsches were winning their class at Le Mans, the Mille Miglia, Nurburgring, the Carrera Panamericana, and at races throughout the United States.

Porsche 356 and RS Spyders is a history of the first Porsche cars from 1948 through to today's vintage race scene. More than 150 color and black and white photographs chronicle the development of all of the 356 models, including the Speedster; Carrera; A, B, and C Series; America Roadster; Type 55; and all of the four-cam RS Spyders.

Here are many never-before-seen historical photos showing Porsche car construction, early blueprints, technical details, and Le Mans race cars as well as a large collection of race photos of the great American races, cars, and drivers.
