Porsche was hitting its stride in 1956 as the 10,000th 356 rolled off the assembly line and the company's newest model - the 356A - was in its first full year of production. This new model featured an all-steel body with numerous subtle differences in design, a curved windshield and smaller wheels.
The 356A was given the internal factory designation Type 1, which gave rise to its nickname T1 among enthusiasts. In early 1957, a second version of the 356A was produced, known as Type 2, or T2.
This 356A T1 Coupe came equipped with the 'Super' 1582cc air-cooled boxer four-cylinder engine making 75 horsepower. It was painted in the rare color of Lago Green Metallic, which was only available in 1956.
