We picked up this neat print of an early Porsche car that looks like a precursor to a 550 Spyder. The print is about 16 x 20. It is going to be a new piece of shop art.
Note the covered passenger area and the drivers windscreen. The gut we got if from said he got it in 1965 and that only 12 car were built like this. The print is titled Porsche Spyder with four overhead camshafts. Anyone seen a car like it or know any history of them? Bruce Attached thumbnail(s)

The picture looks like a cross between a 550 (especially the back) and the Glockler Spyders that were the predecessors of the 550.
The Wikipedia page on Walter Glockler doesn't say anything about him making the cars, sadly. I don't think the Glockler cars used the four-cam motor. So it might be a regular 550 with a slightly odd-looking nose. Some pics of some of the Glockler Spyders: http://delayedepartures.tumblr.com/post/14...spyder-s-father (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/28.media.tumblr.com-121-1313768049.1.jpg) http://6vmemorylane.blogspot.com/2007/11/g...che-spyder.html (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/4.bp.blogspot.com-121-1313768049.2.jpg) --DD |
