Highlights

  • 2 Owners
  • Factory Paint
  • Desirable Colour Combination

s 1959 Porsche 356A Coupe, finished in Ruby Red over Black leather seats with a leatherette interior, represents the final year of the ‘A’ series. Considered by many as the most shapely 356, the 1959 model provided a number of improvements over earlier models including a more powerful Type 616/1 engine with Zenith twin-throat carburetors, the synchronized 716 transmission, and a ZF steering box that improved handling. European Collectibles professionals fitted this 356 with new Oatmeal German square weave carpet, and fully detailed the underside of the vehicle. Serviced and ready for its next owner/enthusiast, this 356A will certainly illicit favorable comments at Concours events and local Cars & Coffees.
