Freedom and fun in a well-loved 1964 Porsche 356 | Why I Drive #7
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Why does Catherine Sutton drive? Because looking after her car is a choice, not a chore. She presides over her 1964 Porsche 356 with its wrinkles and patina as if it were a loved one, carefully operating the clockwork of its clutch and accelerator, and the cherished Porsche shepherds her through the sweeping bends of the countryside. At the wheel, Catherine grasps the independence she felt after first passing her driving test. Anywhere she wants to go, anything she wants to do-the trusty old German connects her to the world through its windshield.

Beautiful video! Congrats Catherine on such a wonderful car and all the love for it. The 356 does that to you - it grabs your soul and commands your heart. Many happy drives and safe travels! Franny

Low tax for oldtimers in the USA ? EU law will tackle this before 2020 and already killed the market in the Netherlands!
Thumbs up for Lady Catherine!!!! A beautiful, mature woman who enjoys & appreciates driving a manual transmission, inside her wonderful 356. Fantastic!!!!
That`s my kind of girl !!!
Perfect summation of why we like to drive. I have had a few older/old cars and no matter their pedigree they give so much back to you.
There's something about that pov shot at 1:06, Jesus it's just so classic, besides the beautiful composition, i don't know what it is. Is it the frame rate, added noise, the boosted warmth, the reflections on the rear quarter and mirror, or that perfectly times bird flying across frame with that gorgeous landscape? Just bloody timeless, I love it

Thank you. I'll pass your kind words on to the cameraman and DP!
Well said I couldn't have said it better myself I feel the same way when I take out my 1967 Firebird on the highway it's just me the bird and the road big thumbs-up Hagerty
🕊A true free bird !!! Thank you for this video and please create more in this spirit.
Very nice seeing someone enjoying her car that way. Thanks.
My first new car was a '71 VW Type 3 "Squareback." And while it certainly wasn't great-handling, and, with only 60 hp, definitely underpowered, the feel of it, from the skinny bakelite steering wheel, notchy shifter, the solid, air-tight shutting of the doors, to the sound of the air-cooled flat-4, the smell of the heater, and on and on, is all so memorable - to this day. It has been a long time since any vehicle has been allowed to be that simple and direct.
Great story and film! I recently acquired a 356B roadster and feel so similarly to how you described while driving it.
Gorgeous car ! I own a 1975 2002 ... I can relate .. it’s a passion not a chore!
I think it's partly an acquired taste too. My Uncle brought home his 1961 VW Beetle from Berlin back in '74 and would drive my younger brother n me to the movies n allow us to binge on sodas n candy every night in the summer n on weekends come school days. As a result, every time we start up our Beetles , there's a humongous 😊 smile on our faces, even if we have to go get groceries for our wives😆
Why I walk? Because I can, and it's glorious!
The freedom of driving!!!! I love it
If it was too clean and too shiny, i wouldn't drive it. and at that point it stops being as much fun This is why car should be driven not to keep as garage queen with just 10 miles on it

Excellent. I have a new Taycan Turbo S -- but my daily drivers are a 1991 Porsche 911C2 and a 1971 911S. Why? Because I just don't care -- You think fun is going fast and looking great in a slick design -- but its not -- fun is being one with the engine, manual transmission and automobile... New cars have lost that feeling. Last, an older Porsche has a timeless design that cant be replicated and likely is gone forever. Cheers Catherine.
I have a 57 Speedster and I feel the same way when driving it, Thanks for for the short film,
One of my favourite films It speaks to many of of the things I love about driving
Beautifully shot and produced. Such a beautiful car Catherine...
I must say that this 356C look stunning with these Fuch wheels.
Beautiful porsche, love the color and the sound of the engine. Beautiful storytelling too.
wicked good, well presented, a new hero
Wow. Drive On!
beauty !
I love her gloves.
She's right. 356 you can see all directions really well.
I was happy to find older style bicycling gloves for my 911 last year. White crochet backs, chamois palms, but no fingers.
I love all 356 content...hope to purchase one soon!!
Best road trip, was to Sebring, convinced my professor to let me take my final early. Dad with his 69 911 updated body wise to a 73 RSR clone with parts from Porsche Racing,. Dad got home after putting in 40 hours of driving his semi and we left for Sebring late Wendsday afternoon, our family dog a small dog, decided the back seat of the 356 gave him a better view on top of our luggage and misc. Drove straight thru with my brother and dad sharing driving between the two cars to get to Sebring on Thursday afternoon.
Love these pieces, they never disappoint! Makes me want to make my own about my car, ha
The car loves her and vice versa.
Gosh u got a beauty there... I hav a 56 beetle and same as u early Sunday morning when no1 on roads i take mine out for a drive and it's just makes me feel... don't have words to describe but it's a feeling i always enjoy😙

Early Beetle and Karmann Ghia are a very close driving experience to a 356 actually. I have liked driving all of them.
Love my t6!
Lovely film a beautiful lady in a beautiful car this is the Dolce Vita! Thank you for the journey! Greetings from 🇬🇧
Love your passion.. thanks, RickGTI
Cool video!! Love the car and the story!
I bet that Porsche is worth a pretty penny. Super nice, and old, and i bet it still handles like a sport car, like it was meant to do
Well said!
Wow, my unaffordable dream car :)
Poetic.
spot ON
Not to pick nits but my preference is for the original steel wheels vs. Fuchs. Other than that - as one owned by a '64 356C sunroof coupe...I say....drive 'em!
Well done!
Petrolicious feelings... and it´s great!
Very posh, and the car's not bad either!
Beautiful Spirit indeed!
Someone had some fun on that bridge, ha
Awesome thanks
Got a tail light out....driv sd. Love them roads!

Love it ❤

Lovely Catherine. My beloved 1986 911 will be taking me up the California coast this August. Inspired video. What kind of gloves are those?

Nice car and lovely girl, great video.
Amazing vister or vista, lol

Very nice but personally I prefer a restored car...keep it shinning and bright to the road.
Classics is the only way. Modern cars are computers on wheels. Where you are just a co-pilot.
looks like southern California LA county ? Azusa Canyon up hwy 39 ?
That is a beautiful car. I have such an affinity for Porsches. Especially the older ones. Not to criticize, but you'd think that before filming something like this, she'd take a quick look around and make sure all her lights were working. That blown tail light on the left side really bugged me. ;-)

That's the point though right? You drive your car! You don't walk around it all the time checking stuff: working? clean? OK, so I check my tyres regularly... but yeah, a tail light is out. Big deal. Goes with the rust and patina :D
Nice shoes, what Is the model please ? Now, about the car, I agree but prices went too far.
Hi, i don't seem to be able to send send messages to this channel through my mobile. But channel named gago gaga seems to have stolen one of your rebuild videos..?
how much is the price of porsche 356 in usa??
Younger generation will never understand this 😢
This car is manual or auto?
Nice Porsche ....but with Fuchs Weels ? They belong to the 911 ;)
Big Sur? Just guessing.
Sadly, I had the opportunity to buy one of these for $500 at a car auction around 1980 and didn't. I hate to think what it'd be worth now if I'd simply stored it without restoring it.

I get your point. Almost everyone has a story like that, me included. But don't forget why those cars where that cheap - they were just old cars. No one wanted them, really. Yourself included.

But they weren't that cheap back then. My first car was a '64 356C and it cost $4,000 in 1981. People did want them back then and used them as daily drivers here in southern California. If it was going for $500 maybe the engine was blown.
Cute
😎
Catherine - you could also have taken the Tube and gone anywhere you chose...
I love the old smelly sneakers...do you sometimes Crank the car?🤩
Nice beetle! Just kidding, pulled a Clarkson there.
more 356
hopefully no one . did bad things. in case of thoses cars.
Oh hellooou lady Katherine....might u be from a well to do family??? You accent is indicative of this
Lovely 356..yes modern cars have lost something...harder to see out of..harder to see where the extremes of the car are...new cars are generally bumpier. Old cars were actually designed for bumpy roads. New cars are full of plastic parts and electronics making them into throw away products that wont be cherished like this in the future.
Put a nardi wood wheel on and drop the gloves. Then if you are truly going to enjoy the car, put a deep sump on a race seat and go play on the race track. No its not going to be a GT3, but it will teach you car control and how to drive smoothly. I bought my first 356 A b nORMAL IN 1974. iT WAS NOT AS FAST AS MY 64 911, BUT IT KEPT MOM OFF OF DAD FOR ALLOWING A 15 YEAR OLD TO HAVE A 911, AND YES i BOUGHT BOTH WITH MY OWN MONEY, NO GIFT FROM THE PARENTS.
This is a Petrolicious copy
I’m not loving Fuchs on a 356.. i was taken aback by how out-of-place they looked
Freedom? What planet are you from... and would you stop by and take me with you? 😂
Hate the Fuchs wheels on a 356. Just wrong.
How much better is any video that isn’t accompanied by vile, so called music.
"there's no aspect in that car that is tedious" I bet she doesn't even do the oil change in that porsche.

You're correct, I don't have a lift in the garage so options to work on the car are limited, and I'm not that confident about my mechanical skills. Tend to stick to distributor cap, spark plugs etc as there's only limited trouble I can get into!

My first car was a '64 356C coupe. I learned how to change the oil, adjust valves, set the timing, synchronize the carburetors, tension the fan belt, gap and change the plugs, adjust the clutch, replace brake pads, etc., all before I had graduated from high school. This was in 1982 and all my friends owned old cars that needed work to keep them running. I'm not sure if this was tedious because that's just how it was, but driving that car was always an adventure!
