eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-23 20:10	(00:33:34 // 00:34:29) 1955-59 356 A round fender and headlamp layout (both were more 911-ish on the 1960+ 356 B) & rear bumper guard.

eLMeR ◊ 2015-03-24 13:17	Thanks to have underlined this detail. All the sources I had for now gave the 1955 year as information, without precision. WP says late 1955, but it could be late in the 1955 model year... But I finally found a couple of sources giving indeed October 1955 as date of introduction. -- Last edit: 2015-03-25 22:23:09
