Barely Contained
This pretty little thing was sitting in the Safeway grocery store parking lot yesterday. It's apparently a Porsche of some variety or other... possibly a 356 from the 1950's, but I'm honestly not sure about that. If anyone out there knows, please leave a comment. Thanks.
Whatever kind of car it is, it's beautiful and I want one.

Well, I think everybody wants one :) This car looks wonderful.
Hi Celine,
This car is a replica of a 1957 Porsche 356 Speedster. Sometimes referred to as a "kit car".
The body is made of fiberglass and sits more than likely on a VW chassis that has been shorted 10" to fit the Speedster body.
The Speedster originals cost in excess of $100,000 each and the replicas' cost can be built or purchased for 1/3 the cost of the original.
Cheers,
Henry
Thanks, Henry! I had no clue, so your info is very much appreciated.
