The 356 A did not have the side vent windows which are shown in your second photo. While the 356 C also had vent windows, it had twin screens on the engine hood and a larger back window. I can't tell for sure from the photos, but this car also appears to have the exhaust exiting through the rear bumper guards - something else that was introduced with the 356B. However, it does not have the reflectors above the tailights that appeared on the 356B.

So OK, old dude, what is it?

I don't know for sure. I figured somebody here could figure it out. Looks like the 356 time frame to me but one thing is for sure, it's a cool looking car and probably worth a few Franklins!
