Porsche took up the idea of the local importer Max Hoffman and offered the sports car as the ‘356 Continental’ in 1954, since the customers allegedly wanted a real name and not just numbers.
Original color: Graphite metallic which still can be seen on the dashboard.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a horn ring and fronts a body-color dashboard housing green-lettered instrumentation including a 120-mph VDO speedometer and a 6k-rpm VDO tachometer
