Throughout the production of 1948 -1965, the Porsche 356 was available in 5 main types: 356\/2 (\u201cGm\u00fcnd\u201d), 356 (&#8216;pre-A&#8217;), then the A (1955-1959), B (1959-1963), and C (1963-1965\/66) types until production ceased to make way for the Porsche 901.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content p:last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"a07online-global-marketing-content-wrapper\">\n<h2 class=\"a07online-global-marketing-title\">No Subscription?
