Max Hoffman's keen sense of his customers' automotive needs was responsible for the creation of a Porsche myth. Hoffman demanded a light, open and inexpensive sports car from Zuffenhausen.

The car should be powerful and have as little air resistance as possible. Ferry Porsche took up Hoffman's suggestion and the Porsche 356 Speedster was born. The Hoffman sales organization offered the new sporty and economical 356 model for $2,995.

From the very beginning, the model delighted numerous customers. It was used as a daily driver and for many as a sports car on weekends at racing events, which were taking place all over the country at the time.

The vehicle in detail

The official Porsche Kardex card for this example shows that the Porsche Speedster was delivered in 1958 to the American Porsche importer Max Hoffman in New York in the highly sought-after color black.

The other vehicle documentation shows that the American pilot Max B. Cooksey from Los Angeles acquired the car in the 1970s. Max B. Cooksey installed an altimeter in the car, which is still in the vehicle today.

When our customer and current owner acquired the Speedster in 2010, he commissioned the German brand experts K&W to extensively restore the car to its original color black.

The original engine and transmission are a lot of fun to drive.
