The Model: The Porsche 356's pedigree is one that helped defined
the sports car industry. As Porsche's first production car, with
its soft yet distinct lines and driver-focused balance the 356 was
almost mandatory to have for any serious racer in the 1950s. While
the 356 may have lost its competitive edge as a race car to modern
technology, its desirability has not wavered. The collector car
market rarely sees a demand, love and following like that of the
Porsche 356. As was the case for serious racers in the 50's the 356
is a must have for any serious collector today.
The Car: This cabriolet has been nicely aesthetically restored with
paint, upholstery and wheels that presents very nicely. Its
original patinated trim pieces, gauges and engine bay maintains its
attractive vintage character. The Ivory paint covering this 356
appears clean and smooth in a nice portrayal of the original color.
Inside the restored upholstery interior is clean, complete and
ready for a new driver to climb behind the wheel. The 1.5-liter
power plant sitting between the back wheels is tuned up and ready
to hit the back roads on a Sunday afternoon. The 356 was the
American's first love in a long line of German sports cars �and now
you can make this one yours.
