Some day, all convertibles will have a roll bar. The new Targa by Porsche.

Some day, all convertibles will have a roll bar. The new Targa by Porsche. At last. The basic problem of open car safety has been solved. With a roll bar fully integrated into the car's total design. The world's first production-series con-vertible to have it is now here. That's the new Porsche Targa, the competition-bred car named for the Targa Florio (the punishing Sicilian mountain road race that's become one of Porsche's most successful proving grounds). Like most Porsche innovations, the Targa's distinctive roll bar is a racing idea. That's why it's as logical and functional as a safety pin. It makes the Targa secure as a coupe, with race-track protection for everyday driving. The stainless-steel-cov-ered roll bar also separates top and back, so they can be used independently as well as together: Top and windows down: Fully open to sky and breeze. Windows up: Airflow stays out. A woman's hairdo is safe at any speed. Top up and rear window down: Cool enjoyment of open-air, daytime driving. Top and windows up: Closed-car comfort, shielded against rain, snow or cold. Porsche offers the Targa in three ver-sions, the 912, 911 and 9111, with the same air-cooled, rear-mounted engines and equipment developed for Porsche's coupes. Common to all Targas are Porsche's famous four-wheel disc brakes, full-synchromesh transmission, and the trouble-free performance inherent in every Porsche. Coupe prices start about $4950. East Coast POE. Targa convertibles. $400 more. For informatior, overseas delivery: Porsche of America Corporation. 107 Tryon Avenue West. Teaneck, N.J. 07666.
