Mr.Porschinelle:

Love your fotos. Your range of sources are remarkable.

As to No.46, given the few clues available, I would venture this:

The Factory Museum display car is a remarkably poor (i.e. inaccurate) "clone" of the original.

Judging by the fit of the hood and the treatment of what I take to be the oil cooler grill below it, one would swear that the Museum clone and the Amelia Island "tribute" car are one in the same.

They must have thought 3 spaceships just landed.

**Porschinelle** · 06-12-2014, 09:27 PM

These 3 spaceship are in fact 3 off the 11 356 Gmund GT
Two of these cars are 356/2 054 and 356/2 063 that Porsche entered to the 1951 24 Hours Le Mans race
Only 356/2 063 driven by Auguste Veuillet and Edmond Mouche finished the race as first in class 1100 cc
Not sure of the chassis number of the 3rd car but it one of the 2 356 used by Porsche to beat some world speed records in Monthlery in September 1951
In October 1951 the 3 first Gmund GT were taken back to Stuttgart to be reconditionned as new and sold to Maximilian Hoffmann
The below pic was taken in the Bremen harbour just before the cars were towed into a cargo for the US
One of these 3 cars was subsequently sold by Max Hoffmann to John Von Neumann who cut off the top to race it as a speedster
