    Shop towels

    I have seen many variations of shop towels.

    Does anyone know what these are?

    They are early. I'd say '63 and up. I used to have an NOS '63 T6B travel kit. The towel looked just like those, kind of a heather grey. The earliest that I have had and the easiest to spot were the 356A which were very distinctive with blue lines above and below porsche. Of course they hav been repro'd, the A towels.

    I have not seen NOS towels like those in a long time. Stoddards used to carry the newer reproductions like these by the dozen pack at Automotion.

    I was also able to find the reproduction ones at Stoddards not sure if they still have some in stock.
    These are lot better priced.

    Stoddard has them in stock again. They reportedly found a stash of them. 10 bucks.

    Spencer,
    I was given one at the Essen show a couple of weeks ago by a guy at the Porsche classic stand.
    Ask at your local dealer or Stoddards.

    I had one on my Porsche shelf at home for the longest time ... then my cat discovered it and ate it. He's a very hungry caterpillar.

    Glad to know I can re-up from Stoddard.
