The Porsche 356, the car that started it all, holds a singular place in automotive history as the very first production automobile to bear the Porsche name. Introduced in 1948, its lightweight construction, aerodynamic styling, and spirited performance quickly established the marque's reputation for engineering excellence. The "A" series, produced from 1955 to 1959, is often considered the most refined of the early 356 generations, featuring a curved panoramic windshield, improved suspension, and a more luxurious interior than its predecessors. These cars, built in coupe, cabriolet, and speedster forms, cemented Porsche's presence in the sports car world and laid the groundwork for the legendary 911 that would follow. This 1957 356A Coupe represents a compelling opportunity for an enthusiast to complete a well-started project. The car received comprehensive body and paint work approximately a decade ago, with the exterior finished in its original, captivating color. Power comes from a rebuilt 1600 engine, meticulously refreshed by 900 Series in Las Vegas. While the odometer currently reads 0 miles, reflecting its post-restoration status, the car is presented with a significant collection of parts to facilitate its final assembly. A new German wiring harness is included, as is a refurbished Euro speedometer, and much of the interior hardware and exterior chrome trim has either been restored or replaced. The transaxle, while included, has not been rebuilt. This 356A offers a rare chance to acquire a meticulously prepared foundation and bring a classic Porsche back to its full glory.
