Porsche 356 B

In late 1959 significant styling and technical refinements gave rise to the 356 B (a T5 body type).&nbsp;A unique &quot;Karmann hardtop&quot; or &quot;notchback&quot; 356 B model was produced in 1961 and 1962. The mid-1962 356 B model was changed to the T6 body type, sporting twin engine lid grilles, an external fuel filler in the right front wing/fender, and a larger rear window in the coup&eacute;. Notably, the Porsche factory did not call attention to these quite visible changes with a different model designation. However, by late 1963, when the T6 got disc brakes, with no other visible alterations, they called it the <a href="https://www.classic.com/m/porsche/356/356-c/">356 C</a>.
