		Given the difficult circumstances of its birth, it is not only surprising that the first car to bear the Porsche name was a breakthrough, it is surprising that it was born at all.
		Porsche's long-suffering group of Gmund-based artisans had assembled a running prototype of the little roadster in June 1948, and it was shown off to the gathered press at the Swiss Grand Prix one month later.
		Installed in a 356 that bore the Carrera name, honoring the engine's success in the fabled Carrera Panamericana, the Type 547 gave the nimble little car a new lease on performance and enabled it to be a huge force in late-Fifties and early-Sixties GT racing.

		The 356 was created by Ferdinand "Ferry" Porsche, (son of Dr. Ing Ferdinand Porsche, founder of Porsche Motors), with the body designed by Erwin Komenda, and mechanically derived from the Volkswagen Beetle, which Ferdinand Porsche Sr.
		The first Porsche 356 was created on June 8, 1948, and was based on Volkswagen parts for manufacturing economy, though the 356 was soon refined with a focus on performance, and by the late 50's there were few parts shared in common between the two vehicles.
		Although in some ways the 912 did reprise the 356 in terms of specifications, it would not be accurate to say the 912 was the successor to the 356: when the decision was made to replace the 356, the 911 was the only car intended to carry the Porsche name forward.

	Convertible D Registry - Porsche 356A History
		The Porsche 356A Convertible D model is arguably the rarest "production" Porsche 356 model ever manufactured for a full year (Carreras being special order cars not made in groups on the assembly line, and the T6 "twin grille" Roadster was produced for only a few months).
		Porsche realized that significant improvements were necessary to attract buyers, but that there was certainly a market for a "weekend racer" with a removable windshield.
		Because overall Porsche sales were growing at a steady pace, and the Reutter coachworks were straining to keep up with the demand, Porsche contracted with the Drauz company in Heilbronn to manufacture bodies for the Convertible D (the "D" stood for Karosseriewerke Drauz KG).

		The 912 engine is very closely related to the “SC” version of the 356 and due to this all the writings on our 356 page concerning the factory engine pertain.

		The cars handle great, but are a tad bit heavier than the earlier 356 which shares virtually the same engine.
