Award Winner LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1958 Porsche
356A/1600 Coupe Hoffman proposed to Ferry Porsche that a sportier,
more basic variant, selling at a lower price, would bring
dividends. Thus, was the staging for the premier of the 356A/1600
strategically specified for the burgeoning American market. Porsche
introduced the 356A at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 1955,
thoroughly updating their 356 line-up of coupes, cabriolets and
speedsters. Major changes were the 1600 cc engine, curved screen
and revised suspension. Ruetter remained the coachbuilder. From the
outside the 356A was only slightly different, wider tires, a rubber
strip below the doors and the curved screen marked the changes. The
interior received a flat-face dashboard, locking glove box and a
radio. Other appointments included headlight flasher, automatic
interior lighting and self-cancelling indicators. Built on May
30th, 1958, this 356A/1600 Reutter Coupe was factory ordered in
Silver Metallic (5706) exterior paint and Red Leatherette Interior.
Powering this German sports car is the numbers matching air cooled
1,600-cc four-cylinder engine upgraded during restoration to

transmission. This gorgeous Porsche underwent a full nut & bolt
bare metal restoration with countless hours in bodywork alone by a
356-restoration specialist. It is equipped with a Blaupunkt Bremen
dual-band radio, steel wheels, fold down rear seat and nicely
