The Porsche 356 built between 1950 and 1955 is also called "356 Pre-A".
It was the first Porsche built in Stuttgart, Germany, succeeding the 356/2, which was built in Gmünd, Austria.
The 356 Pre-A was succeeded by the 356A (1955-1959), the 356B (1959-1953) and the 356C (1963-1965).
The 356 America Roadster was made for the north American market, which demanded a light roadster.
But the America Roadster became to expensive, only 15 were built. It was succeeded by the 356 Speedster, which was much more successful.
