From the Auto section of the New York Times:

Among those ranks is Harold Chalfant, who bought a 1958 Speedster in 1966.

“I paid $1,300 for it, which was every penny I had,�? said Mr. Chalfant, 66, who still owns the car. “There’s nothing else like it. I feel free whenever I drive that car, especially with the top down. In fact, I haven’t had the top up in the past 20 years, although I used to drive it year-round.�?

Mr. Chalfant developed his family’s business into one of the top purveyors of 18th-century fine art and antiques. He now owns three Porsches; two are weekend racers, and the Speedster is reserved for leisurely drives through Chester County, Pa.

Not everyone enjoys his car in such obvious ways. John Heckman’s first Porsche was a ’62 356 B Cabriolet, which he owned for 25 years.

“Although it was a convertible, my favorite way to drive the car was with the top up and all of the windows down, including the clear plastic one at the rear,�? Mr. Heckman, of Blue Bell, Pa., said. “I could hear the engine and exhaust sound better this way.�?
