1962 Porsche 356B Navigation
The Porsche 356B was produced from 1960 through 1963, initially in T5 form, and then in its final transformation with the Type 6 body in 1963.

This Porsche Super 90 Cabriolet is one of approximately 700 built. It was completed at the factory on August 2nd of 1962 and originally finished in Ivory over Black leather, and fitted with optional fog lights, chrome-plated wheels, a tonneau in addition to the top, and Roadmaster horns. It was delivered new through Otto Gloeckler's agency to Walter Hennicke of Bad Soden outside of Frankfurt on the 8th of August, 1962.

Currently, the Cabriolet is finished in black with a deep burgundy interior and has been a part of its current Florida owner's collection for approximately eight years. The repaint is from about a decade ago. Shortly after the acquisition in 2012, the engine and gearbox received mechanical service and restoration to the tune of $25,000.

The original metric speedometer has been replaced with one in miles-per-hour.
