Vehicle Description
Beautiful 1959 Porsche 356A 1600 Convertible D 1959 Porsche 356A
1600 Convertible D with Coachwork by Drauz: One of only 1,330
Produced This beautiful 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D Super 1600
with Coachwork by Drauz is one of only 1,330 produced making it an
extremely rare and desirable car. Just out of loving ownership
where it was cherished and well maintained. This Convertible D runs
and drives well and wears a nice older restoration. The engine in
the car is a period-correct 1600 unit numbered 74615 ( according to
the Kardex, the original engine number was 75058.) As you can see,
the engine in the car is very close in numbers to the original. A
very clean, straight, and solid car overall. Offered with its
Kardex from Porsche. A highly collectible Porsche that would be an
absolute joy and privilege to own. The original Porsche 356
Speedster has become a legend, but in its day, it was just a bit
too bare-bones for some customers. Porsches answer was the 356A
Convertible D, D referring to Drauz, the German coachbuilder that
produced the new cars bodywork. The new car featured a higher
windshield and wind-up door windows for enhanced weather
protection, as well as fully upholstered seats, and it was built
using the same 356A styling, chassis, and drivetrain as the final
Speedsters. Of the three versions of Porsches lightweight open cars
equipped with removable chrome-framed windshields, the Convertible
D is the rarest. Only 1,330 were built, compared to nearly 4,000
356 and 356A Speedsters and 2,653 356B Roadsters. That makes the
Convertible D a prized commodity today. A rare, most attractive,
and more practical alternative to the 356 Speedster. This is a
desirable, honestly presented Porsche of rarity and beauty, and it
is ready to drive in style. Here is a rare opportunity for the
serious Porsche enthusiast to acquire a hand-built touring machine
from the most successful sports car maker in the world. Chassis no.
