Introduced in 1948, the 356 was the first car to bear the Porsche name. Before then Ferdinand Porsche had developed vehicles for other brands at the design and engineering firm he'd founded in 1931. But the 356 was actually the brainchild of his son Ferry Porsche.The VW Beetle formed the basis for the 356, which underwent constant improvements during the 17 years it remained in production. We take a 1960 Super 90 convertible out for a spin. It features a 1.6-liter engine which generates 90 horsepower -- more than twice as much as the first 356 models.
