My childhood family doctor had a 356B and I can remember him coming round for house calls and no matter how sick I was I'd always want to go look at the car. I think that 356B helped me recover more than the drugs did!

cybertree Growing-up a lot of the neighbors had new/fairly new Corvettes/Porsche s (beyond the family cruisers to likes of Saab,Peugeot,Audi,Benz,Jags,boatloads of 3 Series etc).............Porsche/Corvette neighbors were just very peculiar and tended to be very shallow.

Back in 'the day', there was an award called 'index of performance'. It took into account the performance of the car based on how it performed considering engine size/weight. Porsche always won the award. Back then, as with this incredible Emory build, I have the highest admiration for the Porsche 356. Hat's off to Emory for his family's dedication, vision and commitment to craftsmanship exemplified with this build. I totally agree with what Jay says in this video. This is a car which brings joy to the driving experience.

When I was a young boy in 1956 I worked at the Circle in Miami Springs. My job at the time was folding newspapers for my paper route. I delivered them in my 1952 Oldsmobile. There was a Porsche Dealership on the Circle. I would go over and look at the various cars and wish I could someday buy one. The cars they had were just so beautiful. I've carried their image with me all my through my life. I attended college in the sixties and I had the opportunity to drive a Porsche on the Ocean Highway. That was a wonderful experience.

I never did look twice at a Porsche up untill about 3 or 4 years ago. Then a friend told me to take his 2012 Boxster for a day's 'test drive'. Now I see what the name of Porsche means to the owners. I won't say I'm looking for one to buy,but,...I am educated somewhat, it what the marque implies. Porsche's ARE different and not just a jazzed up Volkswagen, as my previous thoughts had taken me down that wrong road. Drive a Porsche when you get the chance, and you'll see what I did. Thanks for this Jay.

In my dream garage I'd have an Emory 356, Singer 911 and a couple of Eagle E-Types amongst others. All beautiful, exquisite but very expensive works of art that you can drive too. Also you can see that this is a later JLG video even without looking at the date stamp, by the watch Jay's wearing (I'm a horology fan too) In most of the earlier videos its one of the Seiko Sportura Kinetic Chronograph watches, whilst in these more recent ones its an Watch.

@charlesearle8414 7 лет назад

@Xaltar_ 5 лет назад

I love the sound of that 911 4 cylinder. The 356 has always been my Porsche of choice, even before they started getting popular in the collector circles, there is just something sexy about the lines and an attainable feel to them. Such a shame I missed out on the affordable era :(

Steve Van Der Vorst Same here brother, I respect *restorations and all that "matching numbers" stuff*, but only because I know there will be one left in a MUSEUM one day to look at. BUT, I've personally NEVER been happy with a stock vehicle, in the end sometimes the manufacturer gets WAY too much credit for giving you what you paid for. I want to see something different, personalized, ENHANCED (tastefully). These aren't your typical restorations with their noses in the air, these porsches are enhanced to do what they were BORN TO DO!

The story of his family was also great to hear about and the fact that the tradition will live on. On the 1958 Special I would just love to be able to drive that car. Jay hit the nail on the head when he talked about the mystic of these cars. Sure there are the 200 mph plus exotics but they have no personality like the Porsches and others in that category. It is the karma that Jay was talking about when shifting through the gears and watching the tach climb. Its like Yoga for gear heads.

Jeff K Yeah sure.... the Cayman is an overpriced PIECE of Sh%T. Even at $100,00+..............nicely optioned out. Floor mats cost extra.....Standard on a seasonal priced $20,000 Camry LE/Accord LX. If Porsche was so successful at building vehicles Profitably; the VW Group would not have been able to take control from the Porsche Family most recently How far out of touch is Porsche with a consumer market? A ATE brake caliper for a 944.also used on the Peugeot 504,505,604,. and other mainstream vehicles cost as little as $20.00 to rebuild and new/re-manufactured units can be had for under $50.00 bucks............Porsche charges $2,000+ for the same caliper.
