What was McQueen's Speedster? I know it was a '58, so was it a 356A model then, which is the same thing as the Convertible D, right?

it wasn't a roadster if that's what you mean. true speedster. 356A.. don't know the specs..but someone once told me it had a 115 hp motor. He actually sold it and then bought it back. His family still owns the car
interesting fact> in the movie 'On any Sunday' there's a clip of his speedster being pulled over by a cop

Those are great photos that I had never seen of McQueen before. Thanks for posting!
Pretty sure his son Chad has it still. There have been articles in Excellence and Pano over the years.
Son Chad and the Speedster always at the "Friends of Steve McQueen" event held annually at Boys' Republic in Chino, California...
