The complete history of Porsche's classic sports car, from the first Gmund coupe to the cherished collector car of today, is told in Porsche 356: 75th Anniversary. The 356 tale features an intriguing cast of characters, including race racers who created the myth of the "giant-killer," engineers who created the cars, and owners like Janis Joplin and James Dean who fell in love with the tiny bathtub-shaped sports cars. The original Porsches drew interest from both racers and aficionados, from titled European gentlemen in the 1950s to movie stars like Paul Newman and Steve McQueen in the 1960s. Collectors today are even more devoted to the car, with Porsche aficionados like Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno among them. The "356 Fascination" is still present today thanks to continuous restoration projects, vintage racing, and the "Outlaw" movement.
