Early 1950's 356 Porsche Competition Motors Brochure
This folder was published by Competition Motors in North Hollywood, California.
Excellent Condition!! But the top right corner has been 'folded', resulting in a 'crease' that does not show in the scan!! It can be removed by 'Light' steaming with an Iron... but be sure you know how: I am not going to attempt it!! It is Minor!!
The Inside pages... Left and Right.
And the Back Cover!
NOTE that the Series ''AMERICA'' appears on this 'TECHNICAL DATA' Page... both engines were '1500's, released in 1952, and in 1953, the Type 356 Porsche was 'Officially' introduced the America; hence the "AMERICA".
But NOW... What makes this One VERY SPECIAL!!! From the Front Cover...
And so who was COMPETITION MOTORS?? Just the first Porsche Dealer in California with VERY Special Clients...
