Beautiful video! Congrats Catherine on such a wonderful car and all the love for it. The 356 does that to you - it grabs your soul and commands your heart. Many happy drives and safe travels! Franny
Thumbs up for Lady Catherine!!!! A beautiful, mature woman who enjoys & appreciates driving a manual transmission, inside her wonderful 356. Fantastic!!!!
There's something about that pov shot at 1:06, Jesus it's just so classic, besides the beautiful composition, i don't know what it is. Is it the frame rate, added noise, the boosted warmth, the reflections on the rear quarter and mirror, or that perfectly times bird flying across frame with that gorgeous landscape? Just bloody timeless, I love it
Best road trip, was to Sebring, convinced my professor to let me take my final early. Dad with his 69 911 updated body wise to a 73 RSR clone with parts from Porsche Racing,. Dad got home after putting in 40 hours of driving his semi and we left for Sebring late Wendsday afternoon, our family dog a small dog, decided the back seat of the 356 gave him a better view on top of our luggage and misc. Drove straight thru with my brother and dad sharing driving between the two cars to get to Sebring on Thursday afternoon.
Well said I couldn't have said it better myself I feel the same way when I take out my 1967 Firebird on the highway it's just me the bird and the road big thumbs-up Hagerty
My first new car was a '71 VW Type 3 "Squareback." And while it certainly wasn't great-handling, and, with only 60 hp, definitely underpowered, the feel of it, from the skinny bakelite steering wheel, notchy shifter, the solid, air-tight shutting of the doors, to the sound of the air-cooled flat-4, the smell of the heater, and on and on, is all so memorable - to this day. It has been a long time since any vehicle has been allowed to be that simple and direct.
I think it's partly an acquired taste too. My Uncle brought home his 1961 VW Beetle from Berlin back in '74 and would drive my younger brother n me to the movies n allow us to binge on sodas n candy every night in the summer n on weekends come school days. As a result, every time we start up our Beetles , there's a humongous 😊 smile on our faces, even if we have to go get groceries for our wives😆
Gosh u got a beauty there... I hav a 56 beetle and same as u early Sunday morning when no1 on roads i take mine out for a drive and it's just makes me feel... don't have words to describe but it's a feeling i always enjoy😙
Not to pick nits but my preference is for the original steel wheels vs. Fuchs. Other than that - as one owned by a '64 356C sunroof coupe...I say....drive 'em!
"IF SHE WAS TOO CLEAN AND TOO SHINY I WOULDN'T WANT TO DRIVE HER. AND AT THAT POINT IT STOPS BE AS MUCH FUN". Exactomundo! Goodness I wouldn't even want to drive an original 356 with how extremely rare and costly they are. I would only ever consider putting a replica at risk of destruction, despair, disappointment and death. Rat rods rule.
If it was too clean and too shiny, i wouldn't drive it. and at that point it stops being as much fun This is why car should be driven not to keep as garage queen with just 10 miles on it
That is a beautiful car. I have such an affinity for Porsches. Especially the older ones. Not to criticize, but you'd think that before filming something like this, she'd take a quick look around and make sure all her lights were working. That blown tail light on the left side really bugged me. ;-)
That's the point though right? You drive your car! You don't walk around it all the time checking stuff: working? clean? OK, so I check my tyres regularly... but yeah, a tail light is out. Big deal. Goes with the rust and patina :D
Sadly, I had the opportunity to buy one of these for $500 at a car auction around 1980 and didn't. I hate to think what it'd be worth now if I'd simply stored it without restoring it.
I get your point. Almost everyone has a story like that, me included. But don't forget why those cars where that cheap - they were just old cars. No one wanted them, really. Yourself included.
But they weren't that cheap back then. My first car was a '64 356C and it cost $4,000 in 1981. People did want them back then and used them as daily drivers here in southern California. If it was going for $500 maybe the engine was blown.
Hi, i don't seem to be able to send send messages to this channel through my mobile. But channel named gago gaga seems to have stolen one of your rebuild videos..?
Lovely 356..yes modern cars have lost something...harder to see out of..harder to see where the extremes of the car are...new cars are generally bumpier. Old cars were actually designed for bumpy roads. New cars are full of plastic parts and electronics making them into throw away products that wont be cherished like this in the future.
Put a nardi wood wheel on and drop the gloves. Then if you are truly going to enjoy the car, put a deep sump on a race seat and go play on the race track. No its not going to be a GT3, but it will teach you car control and how to drive smoothly. I bought my first 356 A b nORMAL IN 1974. iT WAS NOT AS FAST AS MY 64 911, BUT IT KEPT MOM OFF OF DAD FOR ALLOWING A 15 YEAR OLD TO HAVE A 911, AND YES i BOUGHT BOTH WITH MY OWN MONEY, NO GIFT FROM THE PARENTS.
You're correct, I don't have a lift in the garage so options to work on the car are limited, and I'm not that confident about my mechanical skills. Tend to stick to distributor cap, spark plugs etc as there's only limited trouble I can get into!
My first car was a '64 356C coupe. I learned how to change the oil, adjust valves, set the timing, synchronize the carburetors, tension the fan belt, gap and change the plugs, adjust the clutch, replace brake pads, etc., all before I had graduated from high school. This was in 1982 and all my friends owned old cars that needed work to keep them running. I'm not sure if this was tedious because that's just how it was, but driving that car was always an adventure!

Thank you Franny, happy times on the road for you too!
Low tax for oldtimers in the USA ? EU law will tackle this before 2020 and already killed the market in the Netherlands!
Thumbs up for Lady Catherine!!!! A beautiful, mature woman who enjoys & appreciates driving a manual transmission, inside her wonderful 356. Fantastic!!!!
Perfect summation of why we like to drive. I have had a few older/old cars and no matter their pedigree they give so much back to you.

God, same goes with 1:25
Thank you. I'll pass your kind words on to the cameraman and DP!

That`s my kind of girl !!!
Very nice seeing someone enjoying her car that way. Thanks.
🕊A true free bird !!! Thank you for this video and please create more in this spirit.

Gorgeous car ! I own a 1975 2002 ... I can relate .. it’s a passion not a chore!

Great story and film! I recently acquired a 356B roadster and feel so similarly to how you described while driving it.
I think it's partly an acquired taste too.

I have a 57 Speedster and I feel the same way when driving it, Thanks for for the short film,
This gal certainly gets it. Nice.
Beautiful porsche, love the color and the sound of the engine. Beautiful storytelling too.
I must say that this 356C look stunning with these Fuch wheels.
One of my favourite films
It speaks to many of of the things
I love about driving
Beautifully shot and produced. Such a beautiful car Catherine...
I was happy to find older style bicycling gloves for my 911 last year. White crochet backs, chamois palms, but no fingers.
The freedom of driving!!!! I love it
Gosh u got a beauty there... I hav a 56 beetle and same as u early Sunday morning when no1 on roads i take mine out for a drive and it's just makes me feel... don't have words to describe but it's a feeling i always enjoy😙
Early Beetle and Karmann Ghia are a very close driving experience to a 356 actually. I have liked driving all of them.
Why I walk? Because I can, and it's glorious!
I bet that Porsche is worth a pretty penny. Super nice, and old, and i bet it still handles like a sport car, like it was meant to do
Lovely film a beautiful lady in a beautiful car this is the Dolce Vita! Thank you for the journey! Greetings from 🇬🇧
Not to pick nits but my preference is for the original steel wheels vs. Fuchs. Other than that - as one owned by a '64 356C sunroof coupe...I say....drive 'em!
The car loves her and vice versa.
beauty !
Engin’s Sound go beyond ; really car,
She's right. 356 you can see all directions really well.
Got a tail light out....driv sd. Love them roads!
I love all 356 content...hope to purchase one soon!!
spot ON
Poetic.
Very posh, and the car's not bad either!
Lovely Catherine. My beloved 1986 911 will be taking me up the California coast this August. Inspired video. What kind of gloves are those?
Wow. Drive On!
wicked good, well presented, a new hero
Love these pieces, they never disappoint! Makes me want to make my own about my car, ha
Petrolicious feelings... and it´s great!
Love your passion.. thanks, RickGTI
Well said!
Great film Cathy; you always had the most style
Thank you Richard!
Wow, my unaffordable dream car :)
I met Katherine at a dinner part once! No way!
*We demand more engine restorations!!!*
We hear you! And we're working hard on some right now! They take time and, as most of you know, all sorts of things go wrong! 🤨
That roof quite smart ...
... whats the best swap for 356 ? .. Boxter engine ? Maybe 914 ?
Love my t6!
Someone had some fun on that bridge, ha
Beautiful Spirit indeed!
I love her gloves.
Cool video!! Love the car and the story!
Well done!

very nice car very nice gal !
If it was too clean and too shiny, i wouldn't drive it. and at that point it stops being as much fun
This is why car should be driven not to keep as garage queen with just 10 miles on it
Nah I'll keep my c8 clean
Perfect video, perfect car, perfect woman 👌
Awesome thanks
Nice car and lovely girl, great video.
y conduces un porsches 356 una maquina.te felicito.
Very nice but personally I prefer a restored car...keep it shinning and bright to the road.
That is a beautiful car. I have such an affinity for Porsches. Especially the older ones.
Not to criticize, but you'd think that before filming something like this, she'd take a quick look around and make sure all her lights were working. That blown tail light on the left side really bugged me. ;-)
It bugged me too....unfortunately there wasn't time to replace the bulb before I left home!
Lady Catherine, you and your car are both beautiful. Thumbs up from Mark in Ohio :-)
That's the point though right? You drive your car! You don't walk around it all the time checking stuff: working? clean? OK, so I check my tyres regularly... but yeah, a tail light is out. Big deal. Goes with the rust and patina :D
Classics is the only way. Modern cars are computers on wheels. Where you are just a co-pilot.
Love it ❤
Beautiful car. Well made video, where was this shot?
Amazing vister or vista, lol
WEll done C...
looks like southern California LA county ? Azusa Canyon up hwy 39 ?
Nice shoes, what Is the model please ?
Now, about the car, I agree but prices went too far.
Sadly, I had the opportunity to buy one of these for $500 at a car auction around 1980 and didn't. I hate to think what it'd be worth now if I'd simply stored it without restoring it.

Michael Westen - Can't disagree with you.
But they weren't that cheap back then. My first car was a '64 356C and it cost $4,000 in 1981. People did want them back then and used them as daily drivers here in southern California. If it was going for $500 maybe the engine was blown.
how much is the price of porsche 356 in usa??
This car is manual or auto?
Hi, i don't seem to be able to send send messages to this channel through my mobile. But channel named gago gaga seems to have stolen one of your rebuild videos..?
Nice Porsche ....but with Fuchs Weels ? They belong to the 911 ;)
Big Sur? Just guessing.
Nice beetle! Just kidding, pulled a Clarkson there.
Catherine - you could also have taken the Tube and gone anywhere you chose...
Younger generation will never understand this 😢
I love the old smelly sneakers...do you sometimes Crank the car?🤩

Why I drive....beats walking

hopefully no one . did bad things. in case of thoses cars.
Oh hellooou lady Katherine....might u be from a well to do family??? You accent is indicative of this
😎
I’m not loving Fuchs on a 356.. i was taken aback by how out-of-place they looked
more 356
Cute
Hate the Fuchs wheels on a 356. Just wrong.
Freedom? What planet are you from... and would you stop by and take me with you? 😂
This is a Petrolicious copy
How much better is any video that isn’t accompanied by vile, so called music.
"there's no aspect in that car that is tedious" I bet she doesn't even do the oil change in that porsche.
You're correct, I don't have a lift in the garage so options to work on the car are limited, and I'm not that confident about my mechanical skills. Tend to stick to distributor cap, spark plugs etc as there's only limited trouble I can get into!

@@benjaminbarrera214 - what a great first car!!!!
driving gloves ruin it for me
Barefoot🤩in the sneakers smelly feet ore Not
Oh just shut up simp!
auto mas feo
Why is she mis-gendering the Porsche … 😂
It looks like a VW Beetle stretched.
Darren Atm because it's a Volkswagen
There's always these comments on every Porsche 356 video. Same companies and both using air cooled engines... -_-
Yeah i know Ferdinand Porsche is the designer of the VW Beetle. I'm just saying.
Actually its wheelbase is shorter than the vw bug
Is this gorgeous woman single?
