Gmund 356 - Leather & Metal
Aluminum. Leather. Glass. Some paint. Race car number one for Porsche. Purpose-built for racing. Not a
converted street car, in 1951, this little sports car won the 24 Hours of Le Mans, belts and all. The wire
mesh headlamp covers designed to protect the glass from stones during the 24-hour race, really drew
my attention, given my product and hardware background. Purely for performance, yet ever so stylish.
