Porsche continued to make running improvements to the 356 throughout the 1950s. These were usually of an incremental nature involving mechanical or functional rather than stylistic improvements, but that changed abruptly in 1959 when Porsche showed a brand new face to the world. Erwin Kommenda, Porsche's old friend and still a major design force within the company, had conceived a new front end with more prominent, almost straight-edged fenders, more vertical headlights and a larger front bumper that was raised for more crash protection. A chrome grab handle appeared on the front bonnet between new parking lamps located at the ends of the front air inlets. In 1962 the 356B model received changes known collectively as the T6 modifications, involving the addition of twin engine cover grilles, an external gas filler lid on the right front fender and larger windows. A unique new model briefly appeared, variously referred to as the Karmann Hardtop or the Notchback Coupe. The 1961 production run was basically a cabriolet body with the optional steel cabriolet hardtop welded in place. The 1962 line, which incorporated the T6 features, was a properly dedicated design. The body did not begin life as a cabriolet as before, but was its own design incorporating the cabriolet rear end, the T6 coupe windshield frame and a unique hardtop. This Oslo Blue paint code 6203 1962 Notchback coupe exemplifies that rare model. Fitted with a sharp Black interior with typical full gauges and snug bucket seats, it is powered by the matching numbers 1,600 CC 60 hp flat-4 engine linked to a 4-speed transmission.
