Kinda interesting that there are no pictures from the side, huh?
Well... it's shiny. Why is the front bumper so wide?
And hey, mine is a four seater too. The builder was kind enough to include 2 rear seatbelts.

There is no long version. Did you notice he just drilled the side curtain post holes in the door glass, not the interior panel roll? Those suckers are going to blow out with the first tractor-trailer pass!

Hey Jack, maybe this guy just has a couple of kids with real SHORT legs... LOL...
he lists "long version"
?? dunno - maybe a non-shortened pan?

Here sure isn't showing the interior with the back seats though. Seems to be a regular speedy to me. Was there any builders that made a 4 seater?

It's VERY Shiny!
It might not look too bad if they at least carried the lower door trim all the way to the end.
The interior door cover needs to be carried to the back section too! maybe a couple more beers would do it...

Vince,
Here is a company that has a 1953 356 limo along with a 1958 356 Sedan Delivery model that they built out of an all steel coupe.

I'm not too crazy about the limo, but I really like the delivery van. Somehow it just looks right to me.
Looks to long for me. Not my style.
Those long ones look like sh*t to me. Just goes to show you the design genius of Dr. Porsche; the proportions as designed are just perfect.
The panel van is just great; I love it; it has a "Please Pass" sign but yet it's equipped with a 4 cam engine!!

The limo has been done there is a long white one in one of my 356 Regestry back issues used in a wedding, powered by a t-4 with a bus tranny.
And Porsche did make some speedster sedan coupes and sedan convertable. both were special ordered cars. ODD but TRUE!! And somewhere I saw a Hurst. but its way to soon for that one.
On the brite side you don't have to shorten the pan and a coupe would make a good family car for the shows. un less youd rather a rive in the limo with your grey poupon.

I've got an old Excellance mag with an article on that delivery van. That van has a twin cam in it! I think it was basically a 356 Carrera that was made into the van. Imagine cutting up a Carrera to do that. Result is a nice car though...
That guy has some interesting cars. Another issue has a MG TF (or TA...don't know those models well) that was owned/built by a Porsche engineer. That car has a Fiat twin cam and numerous upgrades throughout from Porsche racing cars as the builder/owner had ready access to the parts bins at Porsche.
Neat cars...

Here in southern CAlifornia, I've seen limos versions of Cobras - still a convertible, but with 8 seats - and also a limo Hog Harley - with six passenger seats, not sure I'd want to be a driver on that one!
Did y'all see the Beck Speedster raffle on Taj's page?
