there are just a few classics that hold sway for me. The Lust to be driving a well engineered machine, long lasting workmanship, style, and a lasting attraction through 7 decades, despite the realities of being behind the wheel of a car that has less zip, comfort, braking.


Road & Track hailed the Convertible D as “welcome news for anyone who has coveted one of these cars from Stuttgart but objected to the appearance or lack of comfort of the Speedster, and yet couldn’t afford the cabriolet or coupe. The Convertible D has roll-up windows, excellent seats, and adequate head room and good visibility with the top up. The Speedster had none of these….” The editors thought the extra height hardly hurt the car’s appearance, while its superior comfort level “makes the buyer feel as though he is really getting his money’s worth.” They rated Drauz’s workmanship “equal to other Porsches and still superior to most cars on the road today…. It seems to us the best buy in a highly desirable line and will probably give more driving pleasure per dollar than almost any car you can buy.”

Also referring to a Drauz Porsche, Motor Trend added that “there aren’t many cars in the world that are turned out free from visual defects, but the Porsche approaches perfection as nearly as can be…. The wonder is that any coachbuilder can work so accurately…. The standards of assembly must be among the highest in the world.”
