First Use of the Name "Carrera"
This is likely to be an easy question for you guys, but I have seen conflicting information on the internet, so I will serve it up to the experts.
What was the first Porsche to oficially carry the "Carrera" name?
I have heard that the Porsche racecars in the Carrera Panamericana races (of the 1950's) were called "Carreras", but was the name actually "in the metal" / on the cars, or was this just a nickname for the racecars? In what year did the Carrera name first appear, in the metal?
Next part of the question: What was the first street car / car offered through dealers to the general public to carry the name "Carrera", in the metal?
Thanks,
Jeff
So the 356 Carrera had the "Carrera" Badge / Name Written on the Car?
not trying to sound like a lawyer, but just wondering whether it actually had the name written on the car / metal script / etc.?
thanks,
jeff
