===356 C=== {{infobox automobile | name = Porsche 356 C | image = Oldtimerumzug Aidenbach 2013-08-18 - Porsche.JPG | caption = Porsche 356 C cabriolet | production = 1964–1965 | engine = {{ubl|1.6 L ''Type 616/15'' [[Flat-four engine|B4]] (1600 C)|1.6 L ''Type 616/16'' B4 (1600 SC)|1.6 L ''Type 616/26'' B4 (1600 SC, police car)|2.0 L ''Type 587/1'' B4 (Carrera 2)|2.0 L ''Type 587/2'' B4 (Carrera 2)}} | transmission = four-speed manual }} The last revision of the 356 was the 356 C introduced for the 1964 model year. It featured [[disc brake]]s all around, radial Pirelli Cinturato tyres, as well as an option for the most powerful [[pushrod]] engine Porsche had ever produced, the {{convert|95|hp|abbr=on}} "SC". Production of the 356 peaked at 14,151 cars in 1964, the year that its successor, the new [[Porsche 911]], was introduced to the US market (it was introduced slightly earlier in Europe). The company continued to sell the 356 C in North America through 1965 as demand for the model remained quite strong in the early days of the heavier and more "civilized" 911. The last ten 356s (cabriolets) were assembled for the Dutch [[Rijkspolitie]], the highway patrolling predecessor of the [[National Police Corps (Netherlands)|Netherlands police force]], in March 1966 as 1965 models.{{sfn|Long|2008|page=162}} Using Porsches to control traffic and speeders was so successful on [[Roads in the Netherlands|Holland's express-ways]], that the Dutch national police branch kept using [[Porsche 911]]s into the watercooled era that began in 1998. {{multiple image | align = left | total_width = 460 | image1 = Porsche 356 C, Coupé (2007-07-08 Sp).jpg | caption1 = Porsche 356 C from 1964 | image2 = Porsche 356 C - Flickr - Alexandre Prévot (1).jpg | caption2 = Porsche 356 C rear }} {{clear}}
