Janis Joplin's infamously owned one of these exact model & year. She wasn't thrilled with white, so it was painted physedilcally (sic)...thanks for posting!
@leonelkk: After 1955 Porsche revamped the 356, so it actually had relatively few VW parts even though it was still a flat four. The steering rack, headlights and some suspension bits were still VW-sourced. Porsche made its own cylinder heads from the late 1940s, though, so even on the early 356s they weren't exactly running VW engines.
yesterday I had the pleasure to drive in such a porsche. same color, but 140 hp. what an adventure!!! gotta love this car.

Owned one of these back in the early 1980's. Should never have sold it. I have a hotted up Triumph TR8 now, but still miss the 356.
