Vehicle Description
1958 Porsche 356A Convertible- The Porsche 356 was a turning point
for the sports car. Impressed by the lightweight,
small-displacement Volkswagens of the era, Ferry Porsche set out to
improve on the concept and build what he referred to as 'a modern
sports car.' The result was an aerodynamic, featherweight coupe
with increased power over the economical VWs. With all-aluminum
bodies and spartan interiors, the cars were an instant hit with
European race car drivers. As production increased, these aluminum
prototype cars were redesigned for street use. Aluminum was
replaced with steel bodywork, constructed by famed coachbuilder
Karosseriewerk Reutter, and engine displacement further increased.
Still, the fundamental concept and overall design remained
identical. shown by appointment only- Visit Alexander Automotive
