The subject car, a Porsche 356, is car that has a history dating back to the late 1940s. The first example of this highly collectible sports car was made in 1948-1949 by the German automaker Porsche Konstruktionen. The original 356 was designed by Ferry Porsche, the son of the founder of the Porsche company, and co-founder of the Austrian manufacturing plant. It was designed with a 4 cylinder engine, located in the rear and air cooled in rear wheel drive.

Bruce Goldsmith, the artist – “Car designers like Franco Scaglione, Harley Earl, Batista Pininfarina, Ferdinand Porsche and Max Hoffman created some of finest pieces of rolling art ever produced.  I recognized their complex curves as being just as important aesthetically as Degas bathers or Modigliani’s nudes."
