Modified 356 Speedster sculpted by Robert Morris
Germany, 1955
This speedster turned work of art features numerous hand-sculpted modifications. Robert Morris created a streamlined silhouette by shaving the car's body of all trim details including door handles. Further, he added custom elements such as the mirror-housings, passenger tonneau cover, driver's side headrest, and fender skirts all hand-sculpted in aluminum. Hand-tooled alloy seats, a blacked out vinyl dash and diamond tread floor mats were also added by Morris. Finally, Morris painted the car silver.
