                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><strong>CMC's 1963 Porsche 901. It was also nominated for best leather and fabric upholstery, gas filler and a beautifully modeled vent window. The replacement for Porsche's 356, 80 were built with that badge before Peugeot sued for the middle zero in the model number which they had trademarked. Oddly, it only applies to passenger cars which would be competitive with theirs. As to dedicated race cars, Porsche was allowed to use the '907', '908' and '909' for their track cars. I always swore I had no interest in Porsches and Corvettes, and somehow I wound up with dozens of various models. This CMC model is a real gem and beautifully crafted.</strong></em></p>
