The final evolution of Porsche's groundbreaking 356, the C-series Cabriolet represents the pinnacle of Stuttgart's first production car. Built from 1963-1965, these drop-tops featured the most refined iteration of the air-cooled flat-four, with the desirable SC variant producing 95 horsepower from its 1.6-liter engine. The C-series introduced disc brakes up front and a more comfortable interior while retaining the pure, lightweight character that made the 356 legendary. With only 16,668 Cabriolets produced across all C-series variants, these cars are significantly rarer than their coupe siblings. The open-air 356C offers an intoxicating blend of mechanical simplicity, gorgeous Reutter coachwork, and that unmistakable Porsche driving experience that launched a dynasty. Today's collectors prize these final 356s for their improved reliability and refinement, making them arguably the most usable classic Porsches for weekend drives through winding roads.
