Porsche 911 history coverage | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Kase

Hemmings Sports & Exotic Car magazine is featuring Porsche at 50 years.

On page 16 there is a sidebar for a retired leather carver who has a Porsche 356 in his new garage. That would be Dusty Johnson who as I understand has a rep on this site.

Those retired leather carvers do pretty well for themselves. I feel honored to have two small specimens of his work on my hood and to have been a small part of his success.

His leather straps are second to none IMO and that includes the P factory 356 straps. I have had a few non-auto related leather questions and always turned to Dusty for answers. He has been nothing but gracious as well as educating with his responses.
