Porsche 356 Patent Canvas Print, 1962 Vintage Sports Car Blueprint Art

Description

This canvas print reproduces a 1962 patent drawing for the fastback body of an early Porsche 356. It comes in two sizes, 11×14 and 16×20, each available as gallery-wrapped canvas. As a Porsche 356 patent canvas print it reproduces the plate exactly as it was drawn and filed, split windscreen and all, with nothing added and nothing simplified.

The drawing shows a rounded, rear-engined fastback body: a split two-piece windscreen up front, and a long sloping tail finished with a louvred rear lid. Two companion figures show the stamped side-wall panel in cross-section, the kind of detail a patent examiner needed to see how the body was actually built. The shape is unmistakably the early 356, not the 911 that came later. For a sports car fan or a collector of automotive design, the drawing itself is the draw: the actual patent record, not a modern illustration made to look old.

Each canvas is made to order in our family-owned workshop in Northeast Ohio, printed with fade-resistant inks on gallery-wrapped canvas so the edges are finished and ready to display without a separate frame. It settles naturally into a den, office, or garage as vintage car wall art, and pairs well with other automotive patent pieces for a collector’s gallery wall. The aged parchment tones hold up under normal light for years without fading, so the fine linework of the fastback body stays sharp.

Hanging is simple: each canvas ships with wall hangers that peel, press, and hold securely without nails or tools, and they remove cleanly later without holes or wall damage. Pick the 11×14 for a shelf or narrow wall, or the 16×20 to anchor a larger space. It arrives ready to hang, with nothing else to buy.

Add this Porsche 356 patent canvas print to a gallery wall of automotive history, or let the fastback silhouette stand alone above a desk or workbench. Choose the size and style that fits the wall, and it arrives ready to display.

Every order is made and packed by hand in our family shop in Northeast Ohio. We use premium gallery-wrapped canvas, high-quality frame material and fade-resistant inks for both prints and canvas. Each frame is made to order and shipped same or next business day.
