Vehicle Description
1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D with Coachwork by Drauz: One of
only 1,330 ProducedThis 1959 Porsche 356A Convertible D is just out
of long-term ownership and comes with a stack of service receipts
and history. It runs and drives great and has been driven and
serviced regularly. The engine, transmission, and most of the
mechanical components have been rebuilt / restored under previous
ownership. The paint is fair for a driver as it has chips,
peppering, and other small blemishes throughout. At some point in
its life it had a 912 engine installed. This Convertible D with
Coachwork by Drauz is one of only 1,330 produced making it an
extremely rare and desirable car. The original Porsche 356
Speedster has become a legend, but in its day, it was just a bit
too bare-bones for some customers. Porsche?s answer was the 356A
Convertible D, D referring to Drauz, the German coachbuilder that
produced the new car?s 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 Porsche?s 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. A
highly collectible Porsche that would be an absolute joy and
privilege to own. Don't miss this extremely sought-after
Convertible D with a lot of potential and offered at an absolute
bargain price. Chassis no. 85986 Originally Meissen Blue
