I bought a 356SC way back In the 1960s.
I'll bet that SC was a blast. I've not driven one myself but those that I have talked to that have driven them say that they are quite a treat.
I'm the 3 generation to care for our "C". My grandfather bought it from the original owner in '75. Some day I will wetsand/buff off the laquer paint job that is covering the original enamel. There were a few dents in the top of the left front fender that were filled and the entire car was painted back in '71. The current shade of red is quite muted and finely crazed. For now it continues to protect the original paint as it has for the last 46yrs.
